Register an Iranian .ir domain – safe, smooth & secure
An Iranian domain enhances your visibility in Iran, making it easier for local customers to find your website. However, meeting all requirements for registration is crucial. As an authorised representative of Iran's top-level domain, Abion offers fast, secure, and accurate .ir domain registration—handled directly, without intermediaries.
Official top-level domain in Iran
A .ir domain is the official country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) in Iran. The top-level domain is a country domain specifically reserved for businesses and individuals in Iran, but it can also be used by foreign entities with operations in the country. The purpose of the .ir domain is to make Iranian businesses visible and clarify their geographical relevance to customers in Iran.
The TLD administrator of the .ir domain is the state-run Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences – the country's equivalent of the Swedish Internet Foundation. Registration of a .ir domain must be done through a registrar approved by the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences.
Why register an Iranian domain?
An Iranian top-level domain is particularly relevant if you are launching a business or organisation in Iran or expanding existing operations there. It can also be a strategic asset for establishing a presence in the Middle East, where Iran represents one of the largest markets.
