Frequently Asked Questions
What is a .qa domain name?
A .qa domain name is the home for your brand & website in Qatar. It’s the URL that people will type into an internet browser when they would like to visit your site. The .qa is the national country level (ccTLD) domain name zone for Qatar which managed by the CRA. In addition, there are two parts to a domain name. Using ours as an example, qhost is the first part of our domain that we chose. Then there’s ‘.qa’, which is the extension. When you buy a domain name from us, you’re searching for the extension that you’d like to use with the name you choose. We recommend a .qa domain name for your Qatari brand!
Can anyone register a .qa domain name?
Yes - .qa domains are unrestricted as per the policy from the CRA & most other domain names .me .com .net .club, etc are open for anyone and everyone to register, from any country and you do not need to have a business. However some specific domain name zones in Qatar have restrictions (such as .com.qa or net.qa) - for these, a local commercial registration (CR) is needed as per the policy.

What is the difference between .qa and .com domains?
The primary difference between .qa and .com domains lies in their purpose and audience. A .qa domain is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Qatar, making it ideal for businesses, organizations, or individuals targeting a local Qatari audience or emphasizing their connection to the region. It is often preferred for building trust and credibility within Qatar.
On the other hand, .com is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) with global appeal and is widely recognized worldwide. If your goal is to establish an international presence, a .com domain might be better suited, while .qa is perfect for a Qatar-focused brand or identity.
