.ro Domain — a Romanian Address for Your Project

The .ro domain zone is Romania’s national top-level domain. It was originally used mainly for websites aimed at a Romanian audience, but over time its meaning has expanded. Thanks to its phonetic similarity to the English word “go” and its use by well-known brands, the .ro domain has moved beyond a purely local context. Today, it is actively used not only in Romania, but also in neighboring countries like Bulgaria and Hungary.

Who Should Consider a .ro Domain

— Companies and individuals operating in Romania. It’s a simple and clear way to emphasize local presence and build trust with the audience.
— Startups and IT companies looking to play with the “go” sound and create a short, tech-savvy, memorable name (for example, get.ro, we.ro).
— International projects seeking a distinctive alternative to standard .com or .net domains. The concise .ro ending allows for expressive and minimalistic URLs.

Benefits of the .ro Domain Zone

The short letter combination “ro” leaves room for creative naming. It can indicate Romania, be part of a word (for example, hero.ro, zero.ro), or carry an action-based meaning (similar to go.ro).

There are still many short, catchy names available in the .ro zone. If the domain you want in .com is already taken, your chances of securing a clean and easy-to-pronounce name here are considerably higher.

For the Romanian market, a .ro domain signals credibility. It reflects alignment with the local audience and its expectations. The zone is administered by the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics (ICI), which ensures stability and compliance with modern standards.

Registration Requirements

To register a .ro domain, you need an administrative contact in Romania—either an individual or a legal entity. This is not an obstacle for foreign owners: many registrars offer a local representative service. There are no geographic restrictions for non-residents.
Domain naming rules are standard: 3 to 63 characters, Latin letters (a–z), digits (0–9), and hyphens.

Conclusion

The .ro domain combines local identity with international versatility. It works equally well for projects connected to Romania and for those looking for a short, expressive, and modern domain name.
