# Best domain registrars in Egypt

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.

## ccTLDs

### .eg

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.
- Notes: 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.

- Registrars we track that sell it: none — we do not track a registrar selling this ccTLD, which is a gap in our coverage, not a judgement on the ccTLD

### .مصر

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

- Eligibility: Administered alongside .eg through the same registry structure.
- Notes: Punycode .xn--wgbh1c. A separate IANA delegation, not an alias of .eg.
