  .la - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The LA Names Corporation, based in Guernsey, has gained the rights to market.la registrations, and they use the registry services of Afilias and, formerly, the registrar services of DreamHost (a California-based Web hosting provider).
CentralNIC is based in the United Kingdom, while the.la domain is allocated to Laos, but the registrar site claims it to be the "official domain of the city of Los Angeles", a city that is known by the "L.A." initials.
As registrations are taken directly at the second level, and many English words end with -la, this presents an opportunity for domain hacks.

 La Perichole
Piquillo throws La Périchole down on the steps to the throne when it is time to present her.
La Périchole, one of Offenbach's later works, is closer to the typical opéra-comique than his earlier works, and has been performed by many opera companies, including the Metropolitan Opera in New York.
La Périchole is a very humorous work, and fortunately for the modern audience, its humor can be appreciated without any knowledge of people or conditions in nineteenth-century France that may have been indirectly satirised.

Authorized after the July Revolution of 1830, it was again banned by Napoleon III and not reinstated until 1879.
