.ir registration
.ir is Iran’s country-code domain, suited to businesses, organizations, and individuals that want a clear association with Iran. Applicants may be based in any country. Individuals must provide an identification number, such as a passport or national ID number, while legal entities must provide their official registration number. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, without a special registration procedure. Each label must contain between 3 and 63 characters. The registry may request further information to identify the holder and confirm that the application meets its registration rules. Transferring a .ir domain to host.yt requires the domain contacts to be changed to the details supplied by host.yt during the transfer process. Your current registrar can make this change, or you can update the contacts yourself if you manage the domain directly through the registry. A transfer does not change the domain’s existing expiration date. A .ir address gives an Iranian business, publication, community project, or localized service a direct geographic identity. It can also complement a broader international domain when an organization maintains a dedicated presence for Iranian users. For a change of domain holder, contact host.yt to receive the applicable procedure before starting the request.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .ir extension stand for?
ir is the country-code top-level domain associated with Iran. It gives a website, service, or email address a recognizable Iranian identity and is commonly suited to organizations, individuals, publications, and projects that serve Iranian users or maintain a connection with the country.
Who can register a .ir domain?
Individuals and legal entities may register .ir domains regardless of their country. The applicant must provide identifying information appropriate to their legal form: an ID number for an individual or an official entity registration number for a company or other legal organization.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .ir?
A .ir label must contain between 3 and 63 characters. Individuals must supply an identification number, such as a passport or national ID number. Legal entities must supply their registration number. The registry may request additional information to identify the holder or verify compliance.
Is .ir a good choice, and what projects is it suited to?
ir is a practical choice for projects aimed at Iranian users or built around an Iranian identity. It suits local businesses, institutions, media, community initiatives, and localized services. It can also support a dedicated Iranian presence alongside an organization’s primary international website.
When does .ir make more sense than .com?
ir makes more sense when Iranian geographic identity and local audience relevance are central to the project. .com offers broader international positioning and greater geographic neutrality. Choose .ir for a focused Iranian presence; choose .com when the brand should appear market-neutral across countries.
How long does .ir registration take, and how long does it last?
Registration follows a first-come, first-served process. Completion time can vary if the registry needs to verify registrant information or request further details. host.yt confirms the applicable registration term during the order process, and the domain should be renewed before its stated expiration date.
How do I transfer a .ir domain to host.yt?
Ask your current registrar to replace the domain contacts with the details provided by host.yt during processing. If you manage the domain directly at the registry, you may make the change yourself. The transfer preserves the domain’s existing expiration date rather than extending or resetting it.
