About the .LB domain

What is the .LB domain?

.lb is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Lebanon, registered with IANA on August 25, 1993. After years of varied technical management, Internet Society Lebanon (ISOC-LB) became the ccTLD's official manager in February 2024, according to a transfer report documented by IANA, operating the registry through LBDR (the .lb domain registry).

Since February 1, 2021, the registry introduced an accredited-registrar model — registrants can no longer register directly with the registry itself — established an annual fee per domain, and removed the former trademark requirement for applicants. Current requirements vary by subdomain: .com.lb requires the holder to be a company incorporated in any country, with an administrative contact in Lebanon; .net.lb is reserved for internet service providers registered in the country, with a local contact; and .org.lb requires being a licensed Lebanese non-profit organization, or an international organization recognized in Lebanon with authorization from the Ministry of Interior.

Since 2021, a registered trademark is no longer required, but registration is no longer direct: it must go through an accredited registrar.
