Registration in real time
Deletion of a .ro domain is performed 90 days after the domain's expiration date if, during this interval, the holder does not renew their right of use by paying the annual maintenance fee and, where applicable, the quarantine fee.
Following deletion, the domain becomes available for registration on a "first come, first served" basis.
The deletion of .ro domain names is processed automatically based on the availability of the RoTLD Registry servers.
Trends and General Information
The .ro domain is the official top-level domain of Romania. These Romanian domains are very popular in the geographic area around Romania: German, Italian, or Hungarian companies buy and register their own .ro domain to demonstrate a cultural, economic, or ethnic connection to the region and the people of Romania. The registered domains are managed by the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics ICI Bucharest, headquartered in Bucharest, Romania.
Since 1993, interested Internet users have been able to buy and register their own .ro domains — the high age of the domain emphasizes an excellent reputation rewarded especially by major search engines such as Google, as well as by many international visitors.
Statistics
By early 2017, the RoTLD domain registry had recorded more than 900,000 registered domains. For companies, it is also possible to buy and register a .com.ro domain — emphasizing a commercial orientation; about 50,000 of these are currently registered.
There is also the .org.ro domain for organizations, plus extensions such as .tm.ro, .nt.ro, .nom.ro, .info.ro, .rec.ro, .arts.ro, .firm.ro, .store.ro, and .www.ro.
Update: În data de 31.01.2020, RoTLD a raportat un număr de 602,622 de domenii .ro înregistrate și 7,526 de domenii .com.ro.
