101 Domains Domain Information Update ".pe" domains.

South American domains: Peru (.pe)

Important: When entering your search string don't write “www” or the Peruvian domain type, ie. “pe”. Therefore to search “www.101domains.pe” 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 Peruvian 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 Peruvian 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 Peruvian domain name registrar.

Background

Peru has the ccTLD ".pe", and registrations take place under sub-domains of .pe, as wel as the second-level .pe domain name.

The sub-domains available are:

  • .com.pe
  • .edu.pe
  • .org.pe
  • .gob.pe
  • .net.pe
  • .mil.pe
  • .nom.pe

Registration directly under the second level .pe domain was introduced on December 8 2007

Some of these sub-domains are restricted, .gob.pe is only available to members of the Peru government, .mil.pe is reserved for the Peru military, .edu.pe is reserved for academic institutions within Peru.

As well as some sub-domains being restricted to certain bodies, there are some domain names which are unavailable for registration. Domain names which match internet protocols are forbidden, these include www, web, tcp, http, wap, wais, rfc and so on. This list is not complete, as a general rule the .pe registry will not allow a domain name to be registered if it matches an internet protocol name.

Geographic place names in Peru are also reserved and unavailable for general registration, these can be delegated to groups to who the registration is deemed beneficial to the community, as decided by the .pe registry. Likewise, the names of native languages and the national denominations both in Spanish and in the native language of the different Peruvian ethnic groups.

Domain names which match a trademark, slogan or corporate name may only be applied for by their owners.

The minimum length of a .pe name is 1 character, although the registry suggest 5 characters, and the maximum length is 20 characters, but the registry suggest 15 characters.

  • Population is estimated to be 28,220,764 people
  • Gross Domestic Product is $107.399 billion US Dollars
  • Languages recognised in Peru are Spanish
