Individuals or non-Albanian companies can register .al domains through Host.al. The process is simple: choose an available .al domain name using Host.al’s search tool, provide the necessary personal or business information, pay the registration fee, and complete the registration. Make sure the chosen domain complies with Albanian laws, and remember to renew the domain before it expires to maintain ownership.

AKEP may reject the domain registration if the information provided by the registrant is inaccurate or incomplete. Additionally, if your domain name is classified as a reserved or prohibited name according to AKEP regulations, the domain registration may be rejected. We encourage our clients to consult the list of prohibited and reserved domains, available at the following link: List of Prohibited Domain Names .al and Subdomains, as well as the registry of registered trademarks, which can be found here: List of Reserved Domain Names .al and Subdomains.

These subdomains are reserved for specific user groups. The .gov.al and .mil.al domains are reserved for government and military use only and are not registered by registrars. We can only register:
