.jo is the ccTLD for Jordan. It is managed by the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship (MoDEE).[1]
Rules and Restrictions[edit | edit source]
Some domain names are prohibited from being used and registered:
- names that affect national security and the stability of Jordan;
- names that violate the laws, regulations and legislation in Jordan;
- names of families, clans or nationalities unless they own a registered trademark;
- names that violate the system and morals;
- religious names, which include the names of religions, sects, holy sites, the names of God, and the names of prophets and messengers;
- common names unless they own a registered trademark;
- names of countries, cities and geographical locations unless they own a registered trademark;
- if the second level of the domain name is not compatible with the nature of the registrant’ work;
- if the name is included in the list of prohibited names that is periodically updated and published on the MoDEE website.[2]
The .jo domain is reserved for use by Jordanian businesses, organizations, and people. Foreign nationals living in the country may apply for a .per.jo domain in their name. Businesses and organizations with no presence in Jordan may apply for a domain name via a Jordanian Intellectual Property Office for the purposes of trademark protection. They must submit documentation of their registered mark to the office. The office then submits the application on behalf of the foreign entity.[3] This is designed to ensure that the administrative contact for the domain is within Jordan, with a Jordanian address.
Characters[edit | edit source]
- The domain name under .jo or any of its branches can contain English letters (a-z), numbers (0-9) and the dash symbol "-", provided that it does not begin or end with a dash symbol.
- The minimum length of the chosen domain name must be 3 characters, and the maximum is 63 characters. As for domains consisting of one or two characters or numbers, they are presented to specialists from senior management for approval and to determine the appropriate fees for them.
- It should not begin with the formula (xn--); because this formula is designated for names that are converted from characters of any language (Unicode) to English characters (ASCII).
- The combination of letters and numbers should not conflict with the commonly used numbering and naming systems. For example, the domain name (0xFF) may not be named because this name represents the number (255) in the hexadecimal numbering system.[2]
