AMRA is an accredited registrar under PNINA, the Palestinian National Internet Naming Authority. That means we register your domain directly into the national registry — the name is held under your business, with you as the legal registrant, not parked under ours.
The namespace
The Palestinian namespace is split into levels. Most businesses want the short one; some prefer the descriptive one. Both are open to you, and there is no rule against holding both.
The shortest and most direct form — the national extension with nothing in between. This is the one most Palestinian companies, and most international buyers of .ps, are after.
The descriptive form, under com.ps for commercial entities, net.ps for network operators, and org.ps for organisations. Longer, but it says what the entity is.
The Arabic-script national extension, فلسطين. — a full internationalised domain name, not a redirect. Useful when your audience reads and types in Arabic first.
Before you plan around a name
A handful of extensions are reserved for specific kinds of institution and are issued directly by the registry against documentation — they are not something any registrar can simply sell you. If your organisation belongs in one of these, we will tell you plainly and help you apply through the right channel rather than take an order we cannot fulfil.

The process
No account to create, no cart to abandon. You tell us the name, we check it against the registry, and we handle the filing.
Send us the name you want and the extensions you are considering. We check availability against the registry and tell you which forms are free.
We collect the registrant details that go on the record — the business name, address and contact that the registry will hold as the legal owner.
We register the name into the national registry under your business as an accredited registrar, and point it wherever you need it to go.
We track the expiry date and come to you before it matters. A domain that lapses quietly is the most expensive mistake in this business.
Renewals and transfers →What we need from you
The legal name of the business or individual the domain belongs to, a postal address, a working email address, and a phone number. These are what the registry stores as the owner of record — so they need to be real and yours, not ours and not a placeholder.
If you already have hosting or nameservers, send them and we will point the domain there. If you do not, that is normal — most of our customers register and host with us in the same conversation, and we will set it up on cPanel or a VPS for you.
After registration
Domains are held for a term and must be renewed before it ends. We track your expiry dates and contact you ahead of them — you are not relying on a single automated email landing in the right inbox on the right day.
An expired name does not vanish immediately — the registry applies a grace period, and after that a redemption window during which recovery is still possible but more expensive. Talk to us as soon as you notice; the earlier in that sequence you are, the cheaper the fix.
Moving a domain between registrars uses an authorisation code tied to the name. We will hand you yours whenever you ask for it — a domain you cannot take elsewhere is not really yours, and we do not run our business that way.
Send it to us with the extensions you are considering and we will come back with what is available and what it costs.
