What's the easiest way to reg a .ae?

[owntype]

Hi,

I am going to reg a .ae domain, is there any restriction to international applicant?

The easiest way to reg .ae? paypal available?

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure but I hear you have to be able to close your eyes and touch your nose, walk in a straight line, stand on one leg, do a back-flip and then fill in a ton of paperwork using a very blunt pencil.


If its any easier than that I'd love to know :tu:

Throw in a Bob Marley CD and you can regg.ae all night.

Try nic.ae. Yes, you have to fill in some forms, but it's worth it!

Soon they will have an online registry available, but you don't want to wait for that as it then will be too late for any gems to reg

Are you allowed to sell them and do you think there is any risk that they will be taken off you if it is deemed to be for the good of the country - or do they have the same rules as .com etc.

I remember registering IsleofMan.im but the tossers decided to take it off me for no reason

Kinda put me off a bit as I'd started to develop it.


Thanks

Yes, you are allowed to sell, I bought tv.ae at Sedo two years ago and the nic.ae registrar was actually very helpful in the transfer, although I also would feel much safer with a .com.

Sorry to hear about IsleofMan.im, I guess also .ae could be a risk, but my experience was good, no problem at all.

I would just stay clear or adult and gambling names...

Thanks guys, much appreciated! Very helpful!

And yes, I am not going to reg any adult or gambling names.

That's true indeed.

However it's important to notice that the following types of websites are blocked/forbidden in the UAE : adult, nudity, sex, dating, gambling, cults/occult, drugs, religious conversion and criticism of Islam.
And that sites containing anonymizer, hacking, translation, and VoIP applications are also filtered.
Finally, all Israeli sites (.il) are also blocked in the UAE.

All domain names related to any of those may not be accepted by the .ae registry.

Poker and casino are two of the most popular top keywords which are registered in almost every single ccTLD in the world but are still available in .ae

Lots of the top English keywords are taken in .ae, but you'll notice that some domains like gambling.ae, porn.ae, naked.ae, girlfriend.ae, gay.ae, lesbian.ae, sexuality.ae, homosexual.ae, drugs.ae, paranormal.ae, occult.ae, jew.ae, jewish.ae are still available.

This should give you a good idea of what kinds of domains are forbidden there.

I respect that, its their ccTLD and they have the right to choose what they want.

The same should have happened in India for .in but somewhat the Registry does not the same good job of .ae

Sure, I'm not questioning that.

I don't think that it's doing a "good job" to ban all websites and domains about dating, gambling, sexuality, homosexuality, freedom of religion. I don't see anything wrong with freedom of speech and individual freedoms.

But well that's another discussion topic that has nothing to do with this thread.

no....sorry, forgive my English. What I meant was that Indian Registry wrote in the policy that the same sort of names like gambling and sexual names were not allowed.......so they wrote something that never enforced so despite Gambling is illegal, we even saw Poker.in selling for $60K....

Sorry, I indeed misunderstood what you wrote in your previous post.

I agree with your point.

However it's obvious that the Indian society is very different from Muslim societies. If some parts of the Indian society can be very conservative, a large part of it is very tolerant especially in younger generations.

So there's much less pressure in India from society and politicians to enforce such rules. I wouldn't be surprised if the Indian registry policies on this point are changed in the future.

Since all the registrations are manually approved it is easier to weed out banned names.
