101 Domains Domain Information Update ".am" domains.

European domains: Armenia (.am)

Important: When entering your search string don't write “www” or the Armenian domain type, ie. “am”. Therefore to search “www.101domains.am” enter “101domains” and nothing else.

The only letters allowed within a domain name are: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z - 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. Spaces are NOT ALLOWED.

Once the domain is registered

All Armenian domain names registered with us are stored on our international server. Domains registered with us are automatically provided with their own under-construction page - this notifies potential registrants that the name has been acquired and is now registered. The under-construction page is offered free of charge and may be used indefinitely.

It is possible for Web and/or Mail forwarding to be provided for Armenian domains.

Domain transfer/release fees are charged are by a majority of registrars, but 101 Domains make no charge to transfer a domain to another Armenian domain name registrar.

Background

The ccTLD ".am" has been given to Armenia. The registry say registrations will be processed in three working days after the receipt of a correctly completed application.

Registrations are open to anyone, there are no residency requirements but non-Armenian applicants are charged a higher price.

Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.

The registry state:

Applications for "too generic" domain names may be refused. Widely known trademarks or names may be registered by their owners only.

If you can prove a right to a domain name which may be unavailable because it is considered "too generic", the registry may issue that name at its own discretion.

The registry also forbid registrations which meet the following criteria, unless you can prove a right to the name:

  • Geographical names
  • country names
  • two/three-letter country codes (ISO 3166 Country Codes)
  • widely known acronyms and abbreviations
  • generic terms
In registering under .am, the applicant agrees to the following:

" To her/his knowledge, the use of this name does not violate trademark or other statutes"

The maximum length of a .am name is 63 characters, including ".am".

  • Population is estimated to be approx 3,231,900 people
  • Gross Domestic Product is $19.298 billion US Dollars
  • Languages recognised in Armenia are Armenian
