Buy .sy Domain Name

Yes, technically it works without difficulty. As of 12 August 2026 .sy is properly delegated from the root, real registered names at the second level resolve without problems, and a name that does not exist returns a clean «not found» response — the second detail matters, because it means the zone is not producing wrong or misleading answers. The registry's WHOIS service also replies on port 43. Registration directly under .sy is therefore genuinely in use.

The registry's rules call for Syrian documents. An individual applicant needs a Syrian national ID; a company needs a valid Syrian commercial registration (it must show the company name and activity code) plus the Syrian national ID of the authorised person. In addition, a permanent residential address in Syria and a Syrian mobile number are given. If you do not have these documents, Atak Domain's trustee service can be used: the name is registered in the name of a local partner and the management rights are granted to you.

Not directly: under the regulations, .sy and com.sy names are registered only in the name of a Syrian individual or company, and the application asks for a permanent address in Syria and a Syrian mobile number. If you live abroad or have no Syrian documents, you can register through Atak Domain's trustee service: the name is officially registered in the name of a local partner and the management rights are granted to you. The registry's guidelines exclude trademark names, province and city names, personal names, professional titles and religious names.

No, the zone is unsigned. The root zone holds no DS record for .sy, and the registry's own WHOIS service reports the DNSSEC status of its zone records as unsigned. In practice this means a validating resolver cannot cryptographically verify the origin of a DNS answer for a name under .sy. That does not make the zone unusable, but it is worth knowing that this extra security layer is not offered.

The names that appear as registered zones in the registry's WHOIS service are: com.sy, net.sy, org.sy, edu.sy, gov.sy, news.sy, info.sy, name.sy, co.sy and biz.sy. Most of them were created on 2 December 2010, name.sy in 2013, and co.sy and biz.sy were added on 22 January 2018. Syria additionally has a separate top level zone written in Arabic script.

Yes, and the change is recent. The IANA root zone record was updated on 23 July 2026 and today names the managing organisation as the «National Authority for Information Technology Services (NAITS)». The earlier name was «National Agency for Network Services (NANS)»; the IANA report on the January 2011 redelegation carries that name. The organisation is based in Damascus.
