Interest in the ".al" domain is increasing, public institutions are

Private entities that have activity in Albania but also individuals have increased their interest during 2023 to have a website that has the ".al" domain as part of it.

A domain is a unique address that is used to access a website and specifically for Albania ".al" is the form of identification where the rights according to law belong to AKEP (transferred to private companies as far as the registry is concerned).

Official data show that the number of domains with ".al" registered during 2023 was 5960.

"The total number of domains with ".al" by the end of 2023 reached 28,278 domains. In statistical terms, it is noted that during the year 2023 there was an increase in the total number of registered domains, with 1003 domains more than in 2022", says the AKEP report.

It seems that there has also been an increase for the websites of public institutions which have also received the specific domain .gov.al.

"During 2023, 20 ".gov.al" domains were registered. At the end of 2023, the total number of ".gov.al" domains was 439. During the year 2023, 12 ".gov.al" domains were transferred to a free state from the ".al" domain administration system, as the institutions have changed them to other domain names. AKEP has cooperated with the state institutions that have domains with ".gov.al", on their renewals, in order to avoid the closure of the services they offer with these domains, such as websites, e-mails, etc., the report states. .

In total there are at least eight private companies in the market that have the right to register domains. According to the figures, the registrar Host.AL shpk (authorized by AKEP) continues to lead the list of ".al" domain registrars, with the largest total number of domains registered through it with 2145 domains in 2023, while the second is Webhost with 1879 followed by InovaTech with 863./ Monitor.al
