Kuwait Launches .KW Domain Registration

Kuwait’s Communication and Information Technology Regulatory Authority (CITRA) launched the first phase of the .kw country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) registration service on 23 September 2024.

The sunrise period will last for six months and allow government entities, trade mark holders and existing third-level domain name owners (including .com.kw, .net.kw, and .org.kw) to register their domain names under the .kw ccTLD.

Following the sunrise period, domain names will be available at premium rates during the landrush period, and, finally, during the third, general availability phase, the public will be able to register domain names at reduced prices.

This phased rollout ensures a structured registration process for businesses and institutions wishing to improve their digital footprint in Kuwait.
