    About .ye domain

    .ye is a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) delegated for the Republic of Yemen. It was introduced in August 1996 and is operated by TeleYemen, also known as YemenNet. The domain is structured with registrations made at the third level beneath several designated second-level categories.

    Who can register .ye domain

    Registration of a .ye domain is restricted. The primary requirement is that the registrant must have a locally registered company within Yemen. Some commercial registrars may offer a local presence or agent service to facilitate registration for non-Yemeni clients. Additionally, all .ye domain names must be hosted on servers physically located within the Republic of Yemen.

    How to register .ye domain

    1. First, use a domain registrar's search tool to check the availability of your desired name under the relevant second-level domain, such as .com.ye or .org.ye.

    3. Complete the registration checkout with the chosen registrar, providing the necessary documentation for the local agent service and your contact details.
    4. After purchase, ensure your domain's DNS records point to a web hosting service with servers located within Yemen to comply with the local hosting requirement.
