.al · .com · .eu domains · DNS and business email
Your domain is your business's address on the internet and one of its most valuable assets. With domain registration at AMS.AL, the name is registered to you, not to the agency, and it is set up straight away for your website, your business email and your security. Since 2015 we have looked after .al, .com, .eu and many other extensions, with planned renewals, so your address is never lost because of a forgotten deadline.

The records that keep your email out of the spam folder
Many businesses register their domain in a hurry: someone in the office buys it with a personal card, or a web designer registers it in their own account and forgets to hand it over. For years everything seems fine, until the day the website goes down, emails stop arriving or the renewal asks for a password nobody remembers. That is when it becomes clear that a domain is not a technical detail but the foundation of the whole online presence.
Domain registration done properly means four simple things: the name belongs to you, the contact details are correct, the DNS records are clean and documented, and the renewal is planned. When these four things are in place, you can change hosting, add email or build a new website without any fear of losing your address.
The table below compares the usual way a domain gets registered with the way we do it at AMS.AL. The difference is not felt on the first day, but it is felt every time the business grows or changes supplier.
| Criterion | The usual way | AMS.AL |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | The domain is often registered to the agency or to an employee, not to the business. | Domain registration always in your name, with you as the legal registrant. |
| Renewal | Manual renewal that relies on someone's memory and on a card that may have expired. | Planned renewal, with reminders before the deadline and a second check by our team. |
| DNS | Records added at random by different suppliers, with no documentation and no history. | A clean, documented DNS zone, checked before every change. |
| Email that lands in spam because the SPF, DKIM and DMARC records are missing. | Business email set up with SPF, DKIM and DMARC from the start. | |
| Security | An account with a weak password, no transfer lock and no control over who has access. | Transfer lock, restricted access and DNSSEC wherever the registry supports it. |
| Support | A generic form and answers that arrive days later, from people who do not know your setup. | A team that knows your domain and replies within 48 hours. |
A domain that has been in use for years has real value: customers remember it, business cards carry it, search engines know it and your business email depends on it. That is why we treat it as property, not as a small purchase. With domain registration at AMS.AL you always receive the full access details and the transfer code whenever you ask, with no questions and no delays.
A domain is also the first step of every online project. Once the name is secured, we can connect it to a website built around your business and to fast hosting, or keep it reserved until you are ready.
Domain registration is only the beginning. After it come DNS, email, renewals, transfers and brand protection. Our services cover all of them, so you do not need three different suppliers for a single address.
We help you find the right name, check whether it is free and register it with the extension that suits your market. For businesses working in Albania, .al or .com.al are the natural choice; for international markets, .com or .eu.
Before registering we advise you on length, spelling and similarity to other names, so the domain is easy to type, easy to say over the phone and easy to remember.
Best for: New businesses, new brands and projects that do not have an online address yet.
If your domain sits with another provider, we transfer it with the EPP code without interrupting your website or email. Before the move we copy the existing DNS zone, so every record is in place when the transfer completes.
When the domain is registered to someone else, we help you step by step to bring it back into your name, following the rules of the relevant registry.
Best for: Businesses that want their domains in one place or that have lost control of them.
We set up the A, AAAA, CNAME, MX and TXT records for your website, your email and the services you use, such as Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. Every change is documented, so it is always clear who made it and why.
For email we add SPF, DKIM and DMARC, the standards that tell other servers your messages are genuine and reduce the risk of them ending up in spam.
Best for: Businesses that want professional email and DNS that does not need fixing every month.
We switch on the transfer lock, restrict access to the account and, where the registry supports it, enable DNSSEC to protect visitors from forged DNS answers.
For brands that matter, we recommend also registering the main extensions and the most common misspellings, so nobody can profit from your name.
Best for: Well-known brands, online shops and businesses working in several countries.
Our domain registration process is short, but every step has a reason. The aim is not only to register the name, but to leave the domain in a state that will not cause you problems in the years ahead.
We start with your business name and with the way customers look for you. We check availability in the extensions that make sense for your market and suggest alternatives when the first choice is taken.
What you receive
Before registering, we look at whether the name is too close to an existing brand or easy to confuse. This saves you conflicts and costly changes later.
What you receive
We register the domain with your business as the registrant and with an email address you control. We choose the registration period and switch on the transfer lock immediately.
What you receive
We connect the domain to your hosting, your website and your email service. We add the authentication records and test that the site opens over HTTPS and that email is sent and received correctly.
What you receive
We track renewal dates, remind you in good time and regularly check that the contact details and records are correct. When you need changes, we make them without putting your other services at risk.
What you receive
Our experience with domain registration for businesses has taught us that the most expensive mistakes are made in the first minutes. Here is what we advise every client before they decide.
A good name is short, easy to pronounce and easy to type without mistakes. Avoid lots of hyphens, numbers that can be confused with words, and special letters such as the Albanian ë and ç, which many people type without. If your business name is long, a shorter version often works better.
The .al extension is Albania's country code and is administered by AKEP, the national electronic communications authority. It tells customers and search engines that your business is connected to Albania, which helps when you serve a local market. The second-level options .com.al, .net.al and .org.al also exist.
The .com extension is the best known in the world and makes sense for businesses that sell abroad or have customers in the diaspora. Many businesses choose both: one extension as the main address and the other as a redirect, so nobody else can take the name.
A domain is not bought forever: it is registered for a period and then renewed. When the deadline passes, many registries offer a short grace period, then a redemption period at a higher cost, and finally the name is released for anyone to register.
That is why we never leave a renewal to the last day. We remind you in good time and, for your main domains, we recommend registering for several years to reduce the risk of a forgotten deadline as much as possible.
For generic domains such as .com, a transfer requires the authorisation (EPP) code and the domain must not be locked. ICANN's rules also provide for a 60-day period after a registration or a transfer, during which the domain usually cannot be transferred again.
Country-code domains such as .al follow the rules of their own registry, so the process may differ. We know these differences and tell you from the start which documents or confirmations are needed.
Well-managed domain registration goes unnoticed, because it simply works. That does not mean it is not measured. Here is what we check and what we hand over to you.
For every domain we track the expiry date, the state of the transfer lock, the accuracy of the contact details and the DNS records. For email we check that SPF, DKIM and DMARC pass, and for the website we check that the HTTPS certificate is valid and that the domain is verified in Google Search Console.
After every domain registration or transfer we send you a short summary: the name, the registrant, the expiry date, the DNS servers and the list of records with the purpose of each. For clients with many domains we keep a shared register, so you see all the names and their deadlines in one place.
When the domain is part of a website we maintain, its checks are included in our website maintenance reports, together with speed and updates.

Choose what you need and we will show you the closest package. It is only a guide; the quote is prepared after a short conversation.
Choose at least one option to see the recommendation.
We do not publish fixed prices, because the cost depends on the extension, the period and the extra services. For every request we prepare a free, no-obligation quote, with the yearly costs shown clearly.
These are the questions clients ask us most often about domain registration and transfers. If you cannot find your answer, write to us.
You do. We register it with your business or with you as the registrant, and we give you the access details and the transfer code whenever you ask for them.
For most generic extensions, the domain is active within minutes of registration. Some country-code extensions may require extra confirmations, so the process takes a little longer.
DNS changes can take a few hours to spread across the internet, so we schedule them at times when they do not affect your customers.
When the deadline passes, the website and email stop working. For a limited time the domain can be recovered, often at a higher cost, and after that it is released for anyone.
With us this rarely happens, because we track the deadlines and remind you several times before expiry.
Yes. We need the authorisation code from your current provider and the domain must not be locked. Before the move we copy the DNS records, so your website and email are not interrupted.
No. You can register the domain and keep it reserved even without a website. When you are ready, we connect it to fast and secure web hosting or to the hosting you already have.
For a mainly Albanian market, .al or .com.al are a good choice. For customers abroad, .com remains the best known, while .eu makes sense for businesses working in the European Union.
Yes. We set up business email with addresses such as info@yourbusiness.al, either on our hosting or with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, together with the SPF, DKIM and DMARC records.
For most extensions, the registrant's personal data is no longer shown publicly in WHOIS, in line with GDPR. We explain what is displayed for the extension you choose.
Because we have looked after domains, hosting, email and websites under one roof since 2015, and because the domain is always registered in your name. You can read more about our story and how we work on our About Us page.
Tell us the name you have in mind and the market you work in. We will send you the available alternatives, the extensions we recommend and a free quote, with no obligation.
If you already have domains with other providers, we will review them together and show you how to keep them safe in one place.
