Host.al, Albania’s largest .al domain registrar proudly announces it now operates as an ICANN Accredited Registrar under its sister company, Zana Tech Inc.

What is ICANN accreditation?

ICANN Accreditation is a certification that allows companies to directly offer domain name registration services to businesses and individuals, bypassing third-party intermediaries. Accredited registrars can build direct relationships with domain registries, providing greater efficiency and improved customer experiences.

ICANN rigorously evaluates candidate companies based on:

• Financial stability and sustainability for long-term operations
• Expertise and qualified personnel capable of managing domain lifecycle and providing dedicated client support
• Secure and reliable technology systems ensuring continuous service availability and data protection
• Experience and competence in resolving legal disputes and addressing domain abuse incidents

Accreditation requires ongoing compliance and annual renewal, ensuring sustained adherence to international standards.

What does this mean for you as a customer of Host.al:

• Enhanced trust and reliability: ICANN rigorously evaluates candidate companies, and this guaranties that we are providing services at a higher standard and are compliant with a whole new set of refulations. This accreditation proves that your domains are handled by a thoroughly vetted and trustworthy provider.
• Competitive pricing: Direct partnerships with registries eliminate unnecessary intermediaries, enabling Host.al to offer more attractive pricing and promotions. At the moment, the price for .com is among the cheapest online. We only charge a small margin to cover the payment processing cost.
• Broader domain availability: We will start rolling new domains and products in the coming months. You as a customer will have access to a wider array of premium, aftermarket, and previously unavailable domain names, enhancing opportunities for businesses and domain investors.
• Rapid deployment of new TLDs: We can now guarantee faster access to new and emerging domain extensions, allowing customers to secure desired domains quickly.
• Domain reselling opportunities: We are expanding capabilities for resellers and domain investors, who can now directly benefit from Host.al’s extensive registry partnerships.

ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) accreditation represents a significant milestone for our company, highlighting the company’s dedication to delivering secure, reliable, and compliant domain registration services at international standards.

Achieving ICANN accreditation underscores our dedication to empowering local businesses and individuals to establish a robust online presence. At this moment, we are registered with some of the largest registries in the world, including Verisign, PIR, Identity Digital & CentralNic. This gives us direct access to the registration of hundreds of domain tlds and allows us to provide seamless, high-quality services that comply with global standards and best practices.

With ICANN accreditation, Host.al customers will enjoy access to an expanded range of domain extensions, streamlined support, and the assurance that their domains are managed according to the highest regulatory standards.
