About the .AM domain
What is the .AM domain?
Registration of .am, .com.am, .net.am, and .org.am domains is open to anyone in the world, with no need for a local company or administrative contact in Armenia, with registration periods between 2 and 5 years. The regulations, however, are not permissive regarding use: Armenian law expressly prohibits using these domains for spam, pornography, or terrorism, and AMNIC reserves the right to revoke registrations used for illicit purposes or to reject applications for names considered "too generic."
