Core useWorks

From a Syrian connection, domain search worked: available domains could be searched, priced, and added to the cart along with email hosting options before the checkout step failed.

Landing pageWorks

The Hover homepage loaded normally from Syria, with no block page or load error.

Sign-upWorks

Account creation completed successfully from Syria; the new account's dashboard opened with three test domains listed automatically.

PaymentFails

At checkout, the credit-card fields were disabled and could not be filled in, with the browser console showing a payment-gateway network error; the PayPal checkout option also failed to load. Both worked normally over a VPN.

Frequently Asked Questions

Partly. The core use of Hover works in Syria, but something else about it fails or has not been checked. This page lists what works and what does not.

Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.

You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting Hover directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
