Short answer

Egypt's namespace is run by the Egyptian Universities Network under the Supreme Council of Universities, an academic body rather than a commercial registry, and licences to sell .eg names were granted to a small set of Egyptian companies. No registrar we track sells any Egyptian string. There is also a technical fact worth knowing before you build on it: .eg is one of only two ccTLDs in this set with no DS record in the root zone, which means the delegation is not DNSSEC-signed and you cannot get validated DNSSEC for a .eg name no matter which registrar you use. We have not re-verified the current documentary requirements for .com.eg this edition; the registry publishes them.

The .com, business and developer picks above are the same in every country we cover, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise: they are global registrars, and nothing about them changes at a border. What genuinely varies by country is on this page below — which registrars can sell the local ccTLD and under what eligibility rules, how billing and VAT work, and which support languages are available.

Local registry and rules

Registry operator: Egyptian Universities Network (EUN), Supreme Council of Universities (www.egregistry.eg/)
Policy authority: Egyptian Universities Network (EUN), Supreme Council of Universities
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.

.eg

Last checked 2026-08-19

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 — it's available only through registry-accredited registrars (see Local registry and rules above for the official list).

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.

.مصر

Last checked 2026-08-19

Purpose: Egypt's Arabic-script internationalised ccTLD, the first Arabic IDN ccTLD delegated.

Eligibility: Administered alongside .eg through the same registry structure.

+$0.20 marks the mandatory ICANN fee where a registrar itemises it separately instead of including it in the headline price. Prices are shown exactly as each registrar publishes them, and every ranking on this site compares the all-in total, so no registrar gains a position by splitting its price up.

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.

Renewals are all-in and per year, at the cheapest registrar we verify for that extension, checked 2026-08-19. The .com reference is the cheapest verified .com renewal ($10.18). "Listed" counts registrars our country notes record as selling the extension without a price we have read ourselves.

What this page does not tell you: how the registrars based in Egypt compare. We do not track a single registrar based there — 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.
