.vi is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Registration[edit]
Registration is available in .vi or one of its second-level TLDs. Current prices are $75 for registration for residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands and $300 for foreign registrants. The second-level TLDs cost $75 or $200 respectively. There are premium domain names with different prices. Renewal fees are significantly lower and there is also a price for most contact or nameserver updates.[1]
The only restriction for registration is that the domain has at least 2 active nameservers.[2]
Third level registrations are available in .co.vi, .org.vi, .com.vi and .net.vi.[1] There are no further restrictions in these zones.[2]
Registrars[edit]
Domains can be bought directly from the registry or from official registrars. The registry does not publish a list of official registrars.
A domain transfer between registrars is possible via Auth-Code.
History[edit]
Second level domains (of more than 2 characters) were only allowed for Virgin Island companies or residents until 2014, when COBEX allowed foreign entities to register .vi domains.[1]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
