.ad domain names soon for everyone

The .ad registry (Andorra) has announced that the rules for .ad domain names will be significantly relaxed from September 2024. This means that anyone who wishes to do so will soon be able to register a .ad domain name.

Where previously only residents of Andorra or owners of a registered brand name in Andorra could register this name under .ad, the registry has decided to significantly relax the rules and make names under the .ad extension available to a large audience.
A nice opportunity for marketing and PR agencies to put a product in the spotlight.

The release of the .ad domain will take place as follows:

Landrush: from September 5 to October 16, 2024
Anyone who already owns a registered brand name, trade name, company name or domain name can now register this name under the .ad domain. The price for landrush registrations is slightly higher the first year.

General availability: October 22, 2024
From now on, anyone who wants to can register a .ad name.

bNamed.net is a .ad registrar and already offers you the possibility to pre-register your .ad name.
