General website access is not affected; the restriction is specific to Syrian .sy domain provisioning, including WHM and cPanel account creation. No outreach has been made yet.

## 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.
