Overview

What is .سورية

.سورية is Syria’s national domain in Arabic letters, in the root of the internet since 2011. The whole name is written in Arabic, like ورد-دمشق.سورية, so your customer reads your address in their own language and types it as they say it, with no Latin spelling to look for.

Whoever may register .sy may register it: Syrian nationals wherever they live, organizations based or active in Syria, and owners of a trademark or trade name registered there. The name is written in Arabic letters only, starting with a letter, with hyphens between its words, no marks or tatweel, from 2 to 63 characters. You register it by WhatsApp message, pay by Sham Cash or a domestic transfer, and its price is the same as .sy’s every year.

Because some systems and email services don’t yet handle Arabic letters in addresses, it complements .sy rather than replacing it: register the name in both scripts, keep your email on .sy, and point .سورية at your site. And names that look the same to the eye, like alif with and without hamza, count as variants of the registered name, so register the form your customer writes.

Who it suits

For your field: is .سورية the best fit?

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

  • A shop or restaurant with an Arabic name

    Excellent · The first choice

    Your name as it is on the sign, typed by your customer in their language with no thought for its Latin spelling.

    Register it with.سورية.sy

  • A company working in Syria

    Good · A good fit with .sy

    The Arabic name for your customer here, and .sy for email and the systems that don’t read Arabic yet; register both.

    Register it with.سورية.sy

  • A government or public body

    Good · A good fit

    The body’s name in Arabic reassures citizens, and government bodies’ names are registered for no one else.

    Register it with.سورية.gov.sy

  • A blog or personal site

    Good · A good fit

    Your name in Arabic is an address your readers remember; add .me.sy if you want a personal email.

    Register it with.سورية.me.sy

  • A store selling outside Syria

    Consider another · Consider .com

    Someone outside Syria may not type Arabic on their keyboard, and .com is closer to them.

    Register it with.com.sy

  • A company’s official email

    Consider another · Consider .sy

    Email addresses in Arabic letters aren’t supported by every system yet, so keep your email on .sy and .سورية for the site.
