Syrian .sy and .سورية domains are restricted: they can only be registered through officially accredited companies, and only after the required documents are submitted. Horanos is accredited to register Syrian domains with the National Authority for Information Technology Services.
This guide covers the steps exactly as we run them with clients, including the precise values you must enter on the form.
1. The official form
- 01Download the right form from the links below — one for .SY and another for .سورية.
- 02Fill in the required details and sign it.
- 03Send it to us: a scanned copy by email, or hand it over in person if you can.

- PDF.سورية registration formDomain name in Arabic letters only, with three alternates1.24 MB
2. DNS settings on the form
This is the most important part and the most often filled in wrongly. If you are hosting with us, use these values exactly:
- Primary DNSDNSThe internet's directory: it turns a domain name into a server address, so browsers find your site and mail finds your mailbox. server: ns1.horanos.com
- Secondary DNS server: ns2.horanos.com
- Hosting company: Horanos Tech LLC
If you host elsewhere, use that provider's nameservers instead. Wrong values here mean a registered domainDomainYour site's name on the internet, such as horanos.com. You register it for a year or more and renew it to keep it. that points at nothing.
3. Hosting together with a Syrian domain
If you want both, the correct order is:
- 01Order a hosting plan first, without a domain.
- 02Send the completed domain registration form.
- 03We handle the rest: registering the domain with the Authority, then adding it to your hosting plan.
- Domain added to hosting free of charge
- No setup fees
- No technical steps required from you
How long does it take?
The timeline depends on how complete your documents are and on the Authority's processing pace. We keep you informed at each stage and flag anything missing immediately, before it turns into a delay.
