About the .SD domain
What is the .SD domain?
Registration does not require local presence, incorporation of a company in Sudan, or a VAT number: both individuals and entities from any country can register, with no need to designate a specific individual administrative contact. There are, however, active content restrictions: the chosen name cannot infringe third-party rights, such as registered trademarks, or be offensive to Sudan's cultural, religious or social values; sexually explicit terms are also disallowed. From the moment of application and throughout the domain's life, at least two operational nameservers, fully connected to the internet, are required. Names must be between 2 and 63 characters, with registration periods of 1 to 10 years, and typical processing time is 72 hours.
