About the .SZ domain
What is the .SZ domain?
Unlike most ccTLDs, direct second-level registration under .sz is not available: the only registration route is through the third-level subdomains .co.sz (for commercial entities), .ac.sz (for academic institutions), or .org.sz (for non-profit organizations), while .gov.sz is reserved exclusively for the Government of Eswatini. The process requires proving the requesting organization legally exists within Eswatini's borders, typically through documentation aligned with the country's Companies Act, along with a genuine intention to use the domain regularly on the internet and a guarantee that the name does not infringe third-party intellectual property rights. Names do not support internationalized domain names (IDN), and registration periods range from 1 to 10 years, subject to payment of the annual license fee required by the regulatory Commission.
Direct registration under .sz is not available: registration is only possible through the .co.sz (commercial), .ac.sz (academic), or .org.sz (non-profit) subdomains; .gov.sz is reserved for the Government. Applicants must prove the requesting organization legally exists in Eswatini, in line with the country's Companies Act, and must also guarantee the name does not infringe third-party intellectual property rights.
