Overview

What is .info.sy

.info.sy is the extension for information sites and directories under Syria’s code, and its info is short for information. It is for a city directory, a services portal or a site gathering information in one field, that wants an address saying it is a reference before it is a store.

On top of the owner’s documents, registering it asks for an accredited media organization license, the same license that registering .tv.sy and .news.sy asks for. That is what sets it apart from the global .info, open to everyone: here only a media organization carries the address, so visitors know someone answers for the information.

Who it suits

For your field: is .info.sy the best fit?

Every field has an extension that says something about it. Here is what .info.sy says in each, and which extension completes it.

  • A city or area directory

    Excellent · The first choice

    It says “information” in a short form everyone knows, and your media license is what the registration asks for.

    Register it with.info.sy.sy

  • A specialized information portal

    Good · A good fit

    For a site gathering information in one field, such as farming or tourism, if it holds a media license.

    Register it with.info.sy.guide

  • A media organization with sections

    Good · A good fit with .news.sy

    News on .news.sy, and directories and references on .info.sy, with the same license.

    Register it with.news.sy.info.sy

  • A directory without a media license

    Consider another · Consider .info

    It can’t be registered without a media license; the global .info or .guide are open to those who don’t hold one.

    Register it with.info.guide

  • A page introducing your company

    Consider another · Consider .com.sy

    A page introducing a company isn’t an information site; .com.sy for the company, with its commercial register.

    Register it with.com.sy.com

  • A government body publishing information

    Consider another · Consider .gov.sy

    An official body’s information belongs on .gov.sy, with an official letter from it.

    Register it with.gov.sy.sy

Tips

Before you register

  1. 1A directory for each area you serveIf your organization covers more than one area, an address for each is clearer than one crowded directory.
  2. 2Keep the directory apart from the newsDirectories on .info.sy and news on .news.sy, so visitors know what to expect from each link.
  3. 3A short name, read as it’s writtenIf it needs spelling out on the phone, it’s too long or too complicated.
  4. 4No digits or hyphens that need explainingEvery hyphen or digit has to be said, and what has to be said gets forgotten.
  5. 5Renew automatically, or register for yearsUp to 10 years at once, so you never miss a date.
  6. 6Make sure the name isn’t someone else’s trademarkA registered trademark’s owner can recover the name from whoever registered it first.
