Restricted for users in Syria, confirmed by community testing in May 2026. The marketing site loads from Syrian IPs and existing services remain reachable, but the enterprise sign-up form excludes Syria from its country list, blocking new account registration. No outreach has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-05-06 — Investigated. Community testing confirmed that Alibaba Cloud restricts account creation for Syrian users. The marketing site loads from Syrian IPs, but the Enterprise sign-up page rejects «Syria» when entered in the Country/Region field, displaying «Country/Region not found». Existing services and the broader site remain reachable; new account registration is blocked.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
