## About

Clean and simple domain name registration and email hosting service

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria, verified by community testing in March 2026. The website loads and account creation works, but at checkout the credit card payment fields are disabled and the PayPal option fails to load from Syrian connections, blocking purchases unless a VPN is used. No outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-28 — Verified. Community testing confirmed that Hover is restricted in Syria. The website loads successfully and account creation completes without issues, with three testing domains automatically listed in the dashboard. Domain search and adding items to cart work normally. However, at checkout, credit card payment fields are disabled and cannot be filled — browser console shows multiple errors indicating the payment component is blocked for Syrian IPs. The PayPal payment option also fails to load entirely without a VPN; with VPN enabled, both credit card fields and PayPal component load successfully.

## 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. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
