[edit] Domain hacks
Domain hacks for the .si TLD are quite popular, since si is second person singular of the to be verb. As such, many domains have been created that are using such domain hack, one of the most popular being zadovoljna.si ("You are satisfied", female).
Pepsi also has a pep.si TLD to shorten links.
[edit] Risk
According to a research by McAfee done in 2010, the Slovenian TLD is the tenth most secure.[4]
