discuss Why don’t most popular domain registrars, such as GoDaddy and Namecheap, support .ly domains?

[CakeMonsters]

I noticed that only a limited number of registrars offer .ly domains, while most popular providers like GoDaddy and Namecheap do not.


Since .ly is widely used for short, brandable links (for example no_url_shorteners), I expected it to be more commonly supported.


Is there a specific reason why many mainstream registrars avoid .ly?


I am particularly interested in whether this is related to registry policies, legal or geopolitical issues, technical limitations, or simply low demand.
