Can I register a .al sub-domain like: .com.al, .edu.al, .org.al, .net.al, .mil.al, .gov.al?


Host.al

These sub-domains are reserved for specific target groups. The .gov.al and .mil.al domains are for government and military use only and are not registered by Registrars. We can only record:

  • .com.al – You must provide documentation that you are a company registered in Albania.
  • .net.al – You must provide documentation that you are a networking company registered in Albania.
  • .edu.al – You must provide documentation that you are an educational institution registered in Albania.
  • .org.al – You must provide documentation that you are a non-governmental organization registered in Albania.

What are the permitted registration conditions?


Host.al

.al domains can be active for a maximum period of 10 years. This means that during registration, the domain can be registered for a maximum period of 10 years. But the renewal can be done for a maximum of 9 years.

How long does it usually take to register a .al domain?


Host.al

Our domain registration system automatically handles the registration application. As soon as you finish paying the domain invoice, our system automatically sends your .al domain registration request to the REGISTRAR.

According to the .al domain regulations, the REGISTRAR ( AKEP ) may take up to 3 working days to approve your domain registration request. During this time, the REGISTER verifies:

  1. The data of the recorder is complete, and
  2. The domain name is not a reserved word or a registered trademark.

Usually approval for .al domain registration takes 24 hours . However, there are times when approval may take more than 3 days. If you want to speed up the .al domain registration process, please open a ticket or contact us .

For .AL that does not require a representative, what documents/information are required by the registrant?


Host.al

4 additional data are required for the .AL domain:

  1. Company ID – This is optional for .al domains, but mandatory for third-level domains.
  2. Document Type – Can be any of the following:
    • Identity card
    • Passport
    • Social Number
  3. Organization Identification Number – Registrant’s ID number.
  4. Legal Status – Can be any of the following:
    • Limited Liability Company – Requires Company ID to be filled.
    • Public Entity/Organization – Requires Company ID to be filled in (mainly for .gov.al).
    • Business Person – Requires Company ID to be filled.
    • Individual.

Can I buy more than one domain?


Host.al

Yes, you can buy as many domains as you or your business needs.

Can we register domains in .com.al and similar 3rd levels of .al?

The following rules apply to third-level domains:

  1. The field to add Company ID is mandatory.
  2. .com.al requires the company registration certificate as an additional document. Only Limited Liability Company or Commercial Person can have legal status.
  3. .org.al requires as an additional document the license showing the company ID. Only Limited Liability Company can have legal status.
  4. .edu.al requires the license from the Ministry of Education in Albania as an additional document. Only Limited Liability Company or Public Entity/Organization can have legal status.
  5. In some cases, the Registry (AKEP) may ask for an identity card. This happens mainly in cases where the domain is a trademark.

Can my domain registration be refused?


Host.al

Yes, in very rare cases, AKEP may refuse domain registration if the data provided by the registrar is incorrect or incomplete. In case your domain name is classified as a reserved or prohibited name according to the AKEP regulation, the domain registration may also be refused. We encourage our customers to consult the list of banned and reserved domains (See more ) or the register of registered trademarks ( here ).

What happens if my domain is rejected after payment?


Host.al

In case your domain is rejected after payment, the registration of .al domains goes through an approval process by the registry. Normally, they will check that registrars have correct contact information for each domain, and they will check against banned names and in some cases for trademark infringement.

In the event that your domain registration is declined, we refund you either by adding credits to your account in our system or by refunding through the payment gateway.
