Blocked in Syria, verified by a community report in February 2026 showing an explicit sanctions block page. A community volunteer contacted the company that same month and followed up twice through March, citing the lifted sanctions and noting that competing registrars have already restored access.

You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at Name.com or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
