'''Albania Electronic and Postal Communications Authority, or AKEP''' is the organization which manages the .al [[ccTLD]]. Its domains are sold through [[registrars]], of which AKEP has five, as of 2015. By necessity and policy, all registrars which sell .al domains are Albanian companies.<ref name="centr">[https://centr.org/member/akep AKEP], CENTR.org</ref>
The ccTLD is an open ccTLD, where foreign companies and individuals can register .al domains, although registration for .com.al, .net.al, and .org.al names are still restricted to Albanian companies.<ref name="centr"></ref>
==.al History==
The .al [[ccTLD]] was first created on April 21st, 1992, under an initiative of the University of Tirana's Faculty of Natural Sciences, located within its Department of Informatics. It officially became a registry in 1998, when it became a "sponsoring organization" and began defining the rules and procedures under which domain names would be delegated to users.<ref name="centr"></ref>
Its original master servers were hosted in Pisa, Italy, but were later transferred to Albania.<ref name="centr"></ref>
In 2010, regulatory policies for the registration of .al changed, so that all companies and individuals with Albanian citizenship and nationality were able to register a .al [[ccTLD]].<ref name="centr"></ref>
In 2013, the restrictions were lifted so that foreign companies and individuals can now register .al domains. It was also the same year that .al saw its first accredited registrars.<ref name="centr"></ref>
AKEP has accredited 5 Registrars and main condition is that only Albanian Companies can be accredited as .al Registrars.
