.ro registration
.ro is Romania’s country-code domain extension, suited to Romanian businesses, organisations, residents and projects with a clear connection to the country. Registration is open to foreign applicants as well. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, without a special application procedure. Romanian registrants must provide identifying information. A Romanian legal entity needs its company registration number and VAT number or fiscal code. Romanian citizens and applicable unincorporated entities must provide a 13-digit CNP. Foreign registrants are not required to supply these Romanian identifiers. The registry may request additional details to identify the holder and confirm compliance with its rules. A .ro domain label may contain between 2 and 63 characters. The extension also supports Romanian characters, including â, î, ă, ș and ț, allowing names to reflect their natural local spelling. Before ordering, consider whether an ASCII version should also be registered to accommodate visitors who type without diacritics. To transfer a .ro domain to host.yt, remove any transfer protection at the current registrar and request the domain’s authorisation code. Submit that code with the transfer order. Completion can take several days, and the domain’s existing expiration date remains unchanged. Changes of holder follow a separate procedure, so contact host.yt before starting an ownership transfer.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .ro extension stand for?
ro is the country-code top-level domain assigned to Romania. It gives a website an immediate Romanian identity and is commonly relevant to businesses, organisations, services, publications and personal projects intended for people in Romania or associated with the country.
Who can register a .ro domain?
Romanian and foreign individuals or organisations can register a .ro domain. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Foreign registrants do not need Romanian identification values, while Romanian applicants must provide the applicable local registration or personal identification details.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .ro?
Romanian legal entities must provide a company registration number and a VAT number or fiscal code. Romanian citizens and applicable unincorporated entities must provide a 13-digit CNP. The registry may request further holder information to verify identity and compliance. Foreign applicants need no Romanian identifier.
Is .ro a good choice, and what projects suit it?
ro is a practical choice for websites aimed primarily at Romanian customers, readers or communities. It suits local businesses, public-interest projects, regional services, Romanian-language content and international companies building a dedicated presence in Romania. Romanian diacritics are supported for locally spelled names.
When does .ro make more sense than .com?
Choose .ro when Romanian relevance and local recognition are more important than a globally neutral identity. Choose .com for a project addressing several countries under one domain. A Romania-focused shop, service or publication benefits from .ro, while an international brand may prefer .com as its main address.
How quickly is a .ro domain registered, and how long does it last?
ro registration has no special application procedure, and available names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Processing may require the registrant details applicable to the holder. The registration term and renewal information are presented with the domain order, allowing you to review them before completing registration.
How do I transfer a .ro domain to host.yt?
Disable the registrar lock or other transfer protection with your current provider, then obtain the domain’s authorisation code. Enter that code when submitting the transfer to host.yt. The process may take several days. A transfer does not change the domain’s existing expiration date.
