com.sy Domain: Syria's Commercial Domain Name Zone
com.sy is the commercial domain zone of the Syrian Arab Republic, run together with the parent .sy zone by the National Authority for Information Technology Services (NAITS) from Damascus. The zone has no separate operator: the registry's own records show com.sy created on 2 December 2010, in «ok» status, with name servers pointing at the registry's own infrastructure. The organisation's name was updated in the IANA record on 23 July 2026; the previous name was NANS.
Technically the zone is healthy. Measurements on 12 August 2026 returned com.sy's own zone record with a serial number dated that same day — the zone is actively maintained; real registered names in the parent zone resolved without difficulty, and a name that does not exist returned a clean «not found» response. The registry's WHOIS service answers on port 43. The zone is unsigned: neither .sy nor com.sy carries a DS record, and the registry's own records report the same.
What is missing is a current registration rule text: the registry's website does not respond from this environment, and the pages preserved in web archives date from 2013 to 2015 — before the 2026 update that changed the organisation's name. No verified statement can therefore be made about eligibility, documents, terms or transfers. The sibling zone .sy is in the same position. Check the status of an existing name on the WHOIS lookup page.

.com.sy Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: for .com.sy the post-expiry timeline is set by the registry, so it differs from one extension to the next. The diagram below shows the windows that actually apply to .com.sy, day by day. One thing never changes, whichever extension you hold: renewing before the expiry date is always the cheapest and safest route.
Domain Is Available (Available)
A .com.sy address at this stage has not been taken yet, and it goes to whoever registers first. Check the name you have in mind — if it is free, it can be yours within minutes.
Domain Is Active (Active Period)
Once registration is complete, the domain is registered to you for the term you selected. You can renew at any point before it expires to keep it active, or switch on auto-renewal so you never have to watch the date.
Domain Is Available Again
Once deletion completes, the domain leaves the system and anyone can register it — popular names are often taken the same minute by someone watching. Keep auto-renewal on so a name you care about never gets this far.

Frequently Asked Questions About .com.sy Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
Yes. Measurements on 12 August 2026 returned com.sy's own zone record with a serial number dated that same day — the zone is actively maintained, not an abandoned delegation. Real registered names in the parent zone resolve without difficulty, and a name that does not exist returns a clean «not found» response, so the namespace is not producing misleading answers. The registry's WHOIS service also replies on port 43 and shows com.sy in «ok» status.
-
We cannot state this in a verified way, and we will not guess. The registry does not currently publish an accessible, up to date registration policy, and its website does not respond from this environment. The only document set recoverable from web archives dates from 2013 to 2015 and predates the change of the organisation's name in the IANA record on 23 July 2026, so the document list there cannot be treated as a source today. Confirm the requirements before starting the process.
-
There is no verified answer to this question at present. Whether registration from abroad is open, whether an eligibility test applies, and whether a representative in Syria is needed could only be stated from a current rule text published by the registry, and no such text is reachable. The older pages held in web archives describe a paper-form procedure and an annual lease arrangement, but they are more than ten years old and predate the renaming of the organisation.
-
There is no current, verifiable answer. No fee table or term schedule published by the registry is reachable from this environment. The older pages preserved in web archives mention an annual lease arrangement and reminders sent one month and fifteen days before expiry, but those texts date from 2013 to 2015 and nothing shows they reflect present practice. Confirm the term and the renewal conditions before placing an order.
-
No, the zone is unsigned, and this is confirmed by three separate measurements. On 12 August 2026 no DS record for .sy was found in the root zone, com.sy carries no DS record either, and the registry's own WHOIS service reports the DNSSEC status of both zone records as unsigned. In practice this means a validating resolver cannot cryptographically verify the origin of a DNS answer for a name under com.sy.
-
Because the registry publishes no zone list, the list was measured by querying the registry's own WHOIS service. The names that answered as registered zones are: com.sy, net.sy, org.sy, edu.sy, gov.sy, news.sy, info.sy, name.sy, co.sy and biz.sy. Seven of them, com.sy included, were created within minutes of each other on 2 December 2010; name.sy followed on 20 October 2013, and co.sy and biz.sy were added on 22 January 2018. Syria also has a separate top level zone in Arabic script.
