About the .YE domain

What is the .YE domain?

The .ye is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Yemen, registered in the IANA database on August 19, 1996, and managed by TeleYemen, based in Sana'a. The company, the country's leading telecommunications provider, came under the control of Houthi forces in 2015, amid Yemen's internal conflict, adding a further layer of complexity to the domain's administrative management.

Registration requires having a company formally incorporated in Yemen, or a government-issued ID document if the application is for personal use, along with a copy of the corresponding business registration. An administrative contact physically residing in the country must also be designated, and the domain must be hosted on servers located within Yemeni territory itself. Some registrars offer local presence services for applicants unable to meet these requirements from outside Yemen, though with additional conditions and restrictions. The registration process typically takes about 30 days, noticeably longer than most ccTLDs.
