Domain Extensions / .al
.al domains
The .al domain is Albania's country-code extension, administered by AKEP, the national Electronic and Postal Communications Authority. It is the natural address for businesses, institutions and individuals in Albania and across the Albanian-speaking diaspora, and the two letters carry a national signal that no generic extension can.
Standard second-level names, yourname.al, are open to register with no paperwork for most applicants, and they resolve in minutes. Some categories are reserved by the registry, so an availability check is the quickest way to find out where a name stands. You can also register under a category namespace such as com.al for commercial use or org.al for organisations.
At $8.29 a year all in it is among the cheapest extensions we carry, and as a ccTLD it carries no ICANN fee, so payment processing is the only thing added at checkout.
If your audience, market or heritage is Albanian, .al says so in two characters. It is also short enough to be worth a look for any brand that can end a memorable name in "al".
Albania's ccTLD, and one of the cheapest two-letter addresses available.
