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 ).

.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.

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:
