Today Messenger and it’s crew represent .is, our goal is to create awareness that .com is not the only and best option out there for a web domain. Not only has .is been consistently rated among the top five most secure domains in the world but it is also one of the few where you can buy the domain directly at the registry without going through a ‘middle-man’. The coolest thing about a .is is that it is a readable domain, this means that you can use your domain name in a slogan or phrase on your url.

Ártico’s Birth Story

Ártico’s Birth Story

I was filled with joy to finally be holding you in my arms. Although your birth felt to both your father and I to have happened faster than we would had liked, it all went perfectly well and it went the way it was suppose to.

As I discover Iceland I begin to understand why the Vikings wanted to keep this island of ice and fire to themselves. Iceland is more unique and amazing than I envisioned it being.

The importance of following your instinct and sticking to your plan

The importance of following your instinct and sticking to your plan

Without an engine you will feel closer to nature. Without an engine you will have to learn to sail well. Without an engine you will have the joy of entering the same anchorages in the same way that Columbus, Drake, Cook, Nelson - and the Coconuts - did... under sail alone.
