.eg domain registration in Egypt

How to register an .eg domain

1. Check availability of your preferred name.

2. Confirm eligibility. .eg registrations follow .the .eg registry policies, which may require the name to relate to your company or trademark and supporting details.

3. Provide registrant details in your company’s name.

4. Register through an accredited registrar or their authorised partner.

5. Set up DNS for your website and email.

6. Enable protection, such as registrar lock, and set renewal reminders.

We handle these steps for you and tell you upfront if any documents are needed.

Should you choose .eg or .com?

A .eg domain tells customers you’re an Egyptian business, which helps trust and local search visibility for Egyptian audiences. A .com is globally recognised and suits international audiences. For most Egyptian businesses, the best answer is both: use one as the main website and redirect the other, so customers reach you whichever they type, and competitors or squatters can’t take your name.

Domain transfers and recovering control

Many businesses discover their domain is registered to a former employee, web designer or agency. We help you transfer domains into your company’s name and account, coordinate with the current holder, handle authorisation codes, and make sure DNS keeps working during the move so your website and email don’t go down.

Tips for choosing a business domain name

Keep it short, easy to spell and easy to say on the phone. Match your trading name or brand as closely as possible. Avoid hyphens and numbers unless they’re part of your brand. Check that the name doesn’t infringe someone else’s trademark. Consider registering common misspellings and your brand in Arabic if relevant. And check social media handle availability at the same time, so your online identity is consistent.

DNS explained

DNS (Domain Name System) translates your domain name into the addresses of the servers that host your website and email. Records include A/AAAA records for websites, MX records for email, CNAME records for aliases and services, and TXT records for verification and email security such as SPF, DKIM and DMARC. A single wrong record can take email or a website offline, which is why we document every change and keep DNS in a reliable, secure service.

Domain security

Domain hijacking, where attackers take control of a domain through a compromised registrar account, can redirect your website and email. We protect domains with strong, MFA-protected registrar accounts, registrar transfer locks, restricted access, accurate ownership records, and DNSSEC where supported. We also monitor expiry dates and DNS changes.

Who needs domain management

New businesses, companies expanding into Egypt, brands protecting their name across extensions, businesses whose domains are held by third parties, and organisations with many domains to keep track of.

Arabic domains

The Egyptian also has an Arabic-script country domain, .امارات, and Arabic internationalised domain names allow full Arabic web addresses. They can strengthen brand recognition with Arabic-speaking audiences and protect your brand in Arabic. Because support varies across email systems and some browsers, we usually recommend using an Arabic domain alongside your main Latin-script domain, redirecting to your website.

Managing many domains

Larger companies and groups often accumulate dozens of domains across different registrars, staff accounts and agencies. We consolidate them into one company-controlled account, document what each domain is for, remove unnecessary ones, align renewal dates where possible, and keep DNS standardised, so nothing is forgotten and nothing expires unexpectedly.

What happens after registration

Once your domain is registered, we connect it to your website hosting, set up professional email with proper authentication, install SSL so your site shows the padlock, and make sure renewals are tracked. Your domain then becomes the foundation for everything else online.
