Egypt uses .eg, .com.eg, .مصر, which requires a local presence to register. Below: who operates each namespace, what its rules actually constrain, the accredited local registrars, and how global registrars compare on price where we hold a sourced figure.
Of the 8 local storefronts read on 2026-09-29, none printed a .com.eg price together with its currency and tax treatment, so no local registrar is ranked; each is listed below with what its page showed. Domain EG accredits 8 registrars to sell .com.eg; none of them is tested or scored here. Global registrars that sell .com.eg in US dollars are the global option for a buyer in Egypt, not a recommendation in it.
Registrars accredited by Domain EG, the .eg registry of the Supreme Council of Universities (Egyptian Universities Network)
These 8 companies are accredited by the Egypt registry to sell .eg, .com.eg. Every column is a fact the registry publishes, read from its accredited-registrar list on 2026-09-29. Listed in the registry's own order.
Registrars accredited by Domain EG, the .eg registry of the Supreme Council of Universities (Egyptian Universities Network), with website and whether the registry lists each as supporting DNSSEC. No prices and no scores: none of these registrars has been tested by this site.
0 of 8 are listed by the registry as supporting DNSSEC. “Not published” means the registry does not list that registrar as supporting it, which is not the same as the registrar not supporting it. We have not tested any of these registrars, so nothing here carries a price, a score or a ranking. Comparing them on price and service is work we have not done, and saying which is better would be invention.
Which registrars have a Arabic site, bill in EGP and sell .eg?
Three conditions decide whether a registrar can be recommended in Egypt rather than merely to the world from it: an interface in an official language, billing in the local currency, and selling the local namespace. All three must hold. No registrar we track currently meets all three here.

Bills in USD only. "All prices are in USD" is a positive statement that no other billing currency is offered, so this is a recorded 'no' on every non-USD currency rather than an absence.

Nofails one condition
A dash is ignorance, not a failing grade: it means we have not established that condition either way. Several registrars render their language and currency switchers in JavaScript, which the read behind this table cannot see, so we record nothing rather than a false “no”. A currency that appears only in a display selector does not count as billing in that currency, because a converted price charged in dollars is exactly the case this condition exists to catch.
Where to buy a .com.eg: Domain EG-accredited registrars, read from their own storefronts
Eight storefronts were opened: the registry's own price page and seven of the entities on its accredited list (the ministry was not). The registry, EgyHosting and ECIT print .com.eg in Egyptian pounds (845, 900 and 1100 a year) but none states VAT, so none can be ranked. TE Data and Vodafone returned HTTP 502; Link Datacenter, TAG-Domains and the e& link print no .com.eg price.
Ordered by the standing .com.eg price each registrar's own page printed on 2026-09-29: the renewal where the page states one, else the regular price, VAT included (added at 14% where the page states prices excluding it). Price only: this site has not tested their support, uptime or transfers, and none of them carries a score.
Read, not ranked
A local-language storefront, but no .com.eg price with its VAT treatment on the page read.
DDomain EG (registry)The registry prints .com.eg from 845 EGP per year but states no VAT treatment on the page read (Egypt's rate is 14%), so it is not a comparable standing price.
EEgyHostingThe page prints .com.eg at EGP 900 but states no VAT treatment.
EECIT (ec.com.eg)The page prints .com.eg at 1100 EGP per year but states no VAT treatment.
TTAG-DomainsNo .com.eg price printed on the page read.
Ee& enterprise (nic.ae)The page linked by the registry is a login help page with no .com.eg price.
Not read on 2026-09-29: TE Data (HTTP 502 upstream request failed. Nothing read.); Vodafone Egypt (HTTP 502 upstream request failed. Nothing read.). Unread is a fact about our read, not a finding about the registrar.
Best options in Egypt
No registrar we track meets all three local conditions in Egypt.
No registrar we track is recorded as selling .eg at all, so the namespace condition fails before language or currency is reached.
For .eg itself, the registry’s own accredited registrars are the route, and they are listed on this page above. We have not tested them, so we name them rather than rank them.
does not bill in EGP; does not sell .eg; no Arabic-language storefront established
Verified .com renewal of $11.08. Not the cheapest .com we verify: Spaceship renews at $10.18, 9% less. Porkbun is the pick here for catalogue breadth, not for price. WHOIS privacy: free, included by default.
Buying a gTLD through an English-language registrar that bills in dollars is a real and common choice, so it is named with the trade stated rather than dropped. It is not a recommendation in Egypt: the conditions it misses are in the column above.
Business use, globally
Namecheap
Support channels: 24/7 live chat, ticket support, knowledge base.
Developers, globally
Cloudflare Registrar
Industry-leading anycast DNS with deep developer tooling. Public API documented.
These two are the site’s global picks and are the same on every country page, which is why they are labelled globally and sit outside the table above. Nothing about a registrar’s API or its support channels changes at a border; what does change is language, billing currency and whether it can sell the local namespace, and that is what the eligibility table measures.

Local presence: Not re-verified for this edition. Registration runs through Egyptian licensed registrars; confirm current documentary requirements with the registry before purchase rather than relying on this page.
DNSSEC: Not signed at the root: no registrar can offer DNSSEC validation for this ccTLD, whatever it advertises.
IDN: .مصر (punycode .xn--wgbh1c) is delegated separately and was the first Arabic-script IDN ccTLD delegated.
EUN has managed .eg since 1991 as a non-profit under the Supreme Council of Universities. Registration licences were issued to Egyptian operators including TE Data, InTouch (Link) and Vodafone Data, with EUN serving government, academic and educational registrants directly.
Purpose: Egypt's country code, administered through the Egyptian Universities Network registry.
Eligibility: Handled through Egyptian licensed registrars. We did not re-verify the current documentary eligibility requirements for this edition; confirm with the registry before purchase.
Tracked registrars that sell .eg
None of the registrars we track sell .eg at retail: see the local registrar list below.
The .eg registry sector of the Egyptian Universities Network has managed the string since 1991. Registration licences were issued to Egyptian operators including TE Data, InTouch (Link) and Vodafone Data, with EUN itself serving government, academic and educational registrants. The delegation carries no DS record in the root, so DNSSEC validation is unavailable for .eg names.

Compared across the 11 registrars whose .com price we have read ourselves.
Most global registrars price domains in USD; local registrars often invoice in EGP.
Can a registrar we track handle Egypt?
No registrar whose prices we verify sells any of the ccTLDs on this page, so a local or specialist registrar is the only route to them. A global registrar can still hold the .com, which renews from $10.18 at the cheapest seller we verify: many owners here run both.

What this page does not tell you: how the registrars based in Egypt compare. We list 8 of them by name only, no prices, no scores, no hands-on testing, so any claim here that a local registrar is cheaper, better supported or easier to pay would be invention. Where local billing in Egyptian Pound (EGP), local-language support, or a registry rule requires a local registrar, that is a reason to use one, and comparing them is work we have not done. Egypt also applies a local-presence or nexus requirement to at least one of its ccTLDs: see the registry rules above before assuming eligibility.
