How .LY registration works
Search for an available name, review eligibility, enter accurate registrant details, choose the available term and complete checkout. After approval, connect the domain with nameservers or DNS records.
1. Choose and check the name
Pick a clear, easy-to-spell name. Use the Register.ly .LY domain search. Search results can change, so wait for confirmed activation before announcing the name.
2. Review requirements
Read the current .LY domains guide. Most standard names are open worldwide. Restricted namespaces and names shorter than four characters immediately before .LY can require documents or manual review. NIC.LY regulations (https://nic.ly/regulations.php) make applicants responsible for avoiding third-party rights.
3. Enter registrant details
Use the legal name and current contact information of the real registrant. Check the email address because verification and lifecycle notices can depend on it.
4. Complete checkout
Review the live term and price. Some requests activate quickly; restricted or manually reviewed requests can take longer. Payment does not override registry approval.
5. Connect the domain
Add the nameservers supplied by your host or DNS provider. Create the required A, AAAA, CNAME, MX or TXT records and allow for DNS caching.
