About the .KRD domain
What is the .KRD domain?
This extension officially launched into general availability in April 2016, with a non-restrictive registration policy: the registry operator explicitly stated there would be no residency requirement for registrants, nor any need for a local administrative contact in the Kurdistan region. Although it is especially promoted for entities interested in the Kurdish language, culture, and region, general registration is open to anyone or any organization, with names between 2 and 63 characters, available through registrars such as 101Domain, Namecheap, or NameISP.
