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. Host.al offers an easy registration experience, making it simple for international users to acquire .al domains. http://host.al/can-anyone-register-a-al-domain/

Our domain registration system automatically processes your registration application. Once you complete your domain bill payment, our system automatically sends your domain.al registration request to the registry.

According to the .al domain regulations, the AKEP Registry (https://akep.al/) may take up to 3 business days to approve your domain registration request. During this period, the registry verifies:

1. The registrar’s data is complete,
2. The domain name is not a reserved word or a registered trademark.
3. Domain.al registration usually takes 24 hours to be approved. However, there are cases when approval can take more than 3 days. If you would like to expedite the .al domain registration process, please open a ticket or contact us.

.al domains can be active for a maximum period of 10 years. This means that during registration, the domain can be registered for a period of up to 10 years. However, domain renewal can be done for a maximum period of 9 years.

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:
