.IR is the country-code top-level domain for Iran. IANA lists the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences as the ccTLD manager, and public TLD count snapshots place .IR at about 1.4M registrations, making it one of the larger regional ccTLD namespaces.
Public TLD count snapshot for .IR.
Approximate share compared with 392.5M total TLD registrations.
Total domain registrations across all TLDs in Q1 2026.
This chart places .IR alongside major domain categories using Q1 2026 domain-name-base data. For buyers, .IR is best evaluated by Iran relevance, registry rules, accurate registrant information, and long-term use rather than generic global scale.
.IR is a meaningful country-code choice when the project has Iran relevance and the registrant can follow current registry, naming, and policy requirements.
A .IR domain can support websites connected with Iran, Persian-language audiences, local services, culture, education, media, or regional business activity.
With about 1.4M public registrations, .IR is much larger than many niche ccTLDs and can be useful for serious regional identity.
Buyers should prepare accurate registrant information and review naming restrictions, third-level categories, and applicable registry requirements before launch.
Reliable multi-year .IR growth data was not used here, so this snapshot compares .IR with selected regional and nearby ccTLDs for scale context.
Publicly reported premium .IR domain sales suitable for a NiceNIC front-facing benchmark are limited, so this section does not display fixed sales bars. For buyers considering .IR, the main value usually comes from Iran relevance, language fit, accurate registration data, and long-term use.
A local business, a brand team, an agency, and a reseller platform do not manage domains the same way. Choose the path that matches your use case, eligibility, and management needs.
Use .IR when the website should clearly connect with Iran, Persian-language audiences, local services, culture, or regional activity.
Use .IR when the domain supports a real audience, institution, publication, or service connected with Iran.
Add .IR when Iran-related coverage is part of a client rollout, defensive registration plan, or language-market strategy.
Offer .IR with clear notes about registry rules, documentation, and contact accuracy.
If you already own .IR domains elsewhere, transfer decisions should not be based only on one renewal invoice. Check transfer eligibility, ownership access, billing reliability, support response time, API needs, and long-term domain management.
Paste multiple .IR names, remove duplicates, review the count, and continue to bulk registration. This is useful for domain investors, brand teams, agencies, hosting providers, and resellers.
Enter one name per line, with or without .IR. The tool removes duplicates and prepares a clean list for bulk registration.
If your business sells hosting, websites, SaaS, agency services, or brand protection packages, NiceNIC reseller APIs can support domain registration, renewal, transfer, DNS, and account management.

Short answers for buyers who need to confirm .IR status, registration handling, bulk search, transfer review, payment, or reseller/API support before continuing.
.IR is the country-code top-level domain for Iran. IANA lists the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences as the .IR ccTLD manager.
.IR can be useful for Iran-related businesses, Persian-language sites, cultural projects, education, media, local services, and brands that need regional domain coverage.
IRNIC rules allow certain individuals and organizations outside Iran when the activity and use of the domain are not in conflict with applicable Iranian laws, practices, and interests. Current eligibility should be checked before ordering.
IRNIC domain rules state that second-level .IR names use Latin letters, digits, and hyphens, generally 3 to 63 characters, with hyphens not allowed at the start or end of the name.
Yes. IRNIC rules distinguish example.ir second-level domains from category-style third-level names under selected second-level labels. Some third-level categories can have additional eligibility or document requirements.
Use the .IR search box for one name, or use the bulk search section when comparing Persian, English, local, or brand-protection variations.
Transfer handling depends on current registry support, registrant eligibility, and registrar process. Review the domain transfer page before starting.
.IR should be evaluated mainly by real Iran relevance, language fit, compliance, and long-term use. Public resale history is limited, and registry rules may matter more than speculative value.
Resellers can review NiceNIC reseller API options, while making sure customers understand .IR rules, contact accuracy, and eligibility expectations.
Register a new .IR, transfer an existing domain, or upgrade your account level for bulk registration and reseller API use.
