Businesses in Oman should adhere to Terms and Conditions applied

  • Should not use Generic names (e.g., www, internet)
  • Family names will not be registered under any of second level domains.
  • Domain names must not contain obscene words.
  • The domain name should not violate the Omani cultural norms.
  • Modifications are done only to Administration contact, Technical contact and server information.
  • Request to make any such modifications MUST come from the Technical/ Administrative Contacts with some additional measures taken to verify information for security reason
  • Domain names are non-transferable once registered to an entity unless said entity is bought out or merges with another entity. If an entity is dissolved, the domain names owned by that entity may be reallocated.
  • Registering domain names in the attempt to sell them later to other entities will result in all domains owned by the violating body being revoked immediately.
  • The only way to transfer a domain name from one organization (Registrant/Applicant) to another organization (Registrant/Applicant) I s:
    • The current domain name holder sends a request to delete the domain name.
    • The new Applicant/Registrant for the domain name should submit a new Domain Registration Form to register the domain name. Ooredoo does not guarantee the availability of the domain name for the new Applicant. It will follow first come first served approach for registering this domain name.
  • To delete an active registration of third-level domain names from the database, a written request should be sent to Ooredoo. The request must come from the Administrative Contact with some additional measures taken to verify information for security reasons.
  • Deleted entries of third-level domain names will become available for reuse by other applicants.

Note: Domain name registration is on first come, first served basis. The domain name should be an obvious derivation of the official name of the Applicant, one of its registered trademarks, or represents one of its activities. A copy of any official documents showing the relationship between the proposed domain name and the name of the organization is required (e.g. commercial registration, license, trade mark registration, etc).
