The government of Kiribati (Pacific Islands) has given the technical management of the country-code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) .ki to Telecom Services Kiribati Limited (TSKL), the sole ISP for Kiribati.
In turn, TSKL has chosen to run the ccTLD .ki registry using only open-source systems.
The registry runs with PostgreSQL as a backend database, and is accessible via the Web through Apache and an interface developed with PHP.
All the DNS records are served with bind, and the whole system is running on Mandrake Linux.
