What is a .ro domain?
The .ro domain is Romania's country-code extension and the natural choice for any business, institution or project aimed at a Romanian audience. It is run by ROTLD (Romania Top Level Domain), a department of the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics (ICI Bucharest), which has managed the extension since the 1990s. A .ro address tells visitors straight away that they are dealing with a local company or project.
Historically ROTLD worked differently from generic extensions: a domain was registered without a fixed expiry date, and in practice it is kept active through a periodic fee paid via the registrar. For you it is simple: as long as the renewal is paid, the domain stays yours. With us, renewals are taken automatically from your prepaid account credit, and DNS hosting with a record editor is included free of charge.
.ro is the country code extension of Romania.

Registration rules for .ro
- There is no residency requirement: individuals and organisations from Romania or abroad can register a .ro domain
- Names may contain letters, digits and hyphens, not starting or ending with a hyphen; the registry may also accept names with Romanian diacritics (IDN)
- Registrant details must be real and kept up to date, and ROTLD can suspend domains with false or incomplete data
- Besides .ro there are official second-level zones such as .com.ro, .org.ro, .info.ro and .nom.ro, which are separate domains
Tips for choosing a .ro name
- If your name contains diacritics, register the plain-letter version too, since that is what people actually type
- Protect your brand by also registering .com.ro or .com on the same name before a competitor does
- Pick a short name that is easy to spell out over the phone, without multiple hyphens
- Point the domain at a cloud server with one-click apps (WordPress, Nextcloud, n8n, Coolify) and your site is live in minutes

Questions about .ro domains
Who can register a .ro domain?
Anyone: individuals, companies, NGOs or institutions, from Romania or any other country. ROTLD does not require residency, but it does require accurate registrant details. Companies usually register the domain in the company's own name, with its tax ID, so the domain remains a company asset.
Is a .ro domain registered for life?
ROTLD historically operated without a fixed expiry date, but keeping the domain active requires a periodic fee paid through the registrar. If it is not paid, the domain can be suspended and later released. With us the renewal runs automatically from your account credit, so you will not lose the domain by oversight.
Does a .ro domain help SEO in Romania?
Google treats .ro as a geographic signal for Romania, which can help relevance in local results. It is not a magic switch: content, site speed and links matter more. For a site that sells only in Romania, though, .ro is the most natural choice.
What is the difference between .ro and .com.ro?
They are two separate domains, both run by ROTLD. name.ro and name.com.ro can belong to different owners. .ro is shorter and more sought after today, while .com.ro was popular with companies in the early years of the Romanian internet. Many businesses register both.
Can I use my .ro domain for email?
Yes. We host the DNS zone for free, so you can add MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records for any email provider, or run your own mail server on a cloud server. The DNS editor lets you change records at any time without opening a support ticket.
How much does a .ro domain cost?
Registering a .ro domain costs €17.98 for the first year and €17.98 for each renewal, VAT excluded, paid from your account credit. There is no setup fee and DNS hosting is included.
For how long can I register a .ro domain?
You can register a .ro domain for 1 to 10 years at once. After that it renews automatically from your credit a month before expiry, and you get an email if your credit is short.
Can I transfer my .ro domain to cloudlinux.ro?
Yes. Transferring a .ro domain costs €17.98 and normally adds a year to its expiry. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get the transfer code and start the transfer from the Domains section of your console.
Can I host a website on my .ro domain with you?
Yes. Launch a cloud server billed by the hour, pick a one-click app such as WordPress, Ghost or Nextcloud, and point your .ro domain to it from the DNS editor. The domain also works with any server you run elsewhere.
