Based on the Internet protocol and the currently used applications, it is almost impossible to publish a website that works normally without having a domain name.

A domain name is a series of letters, numbers and some special characters, which together represent a form legible and easy to remember. It is used to determine a website on the Internet which is used as a readable alternative from an IP address that is used effectively to identify sites.

Traditionally, the domain name is related to, derived from, or an abbreviation of the agency's name. For more clarification, please refer to the regulations and laws published on the Saudi Network Information Center website.

The domain name under (sa) consists of two or three parts separated by dots, as follows:

• <your domain name>.sa ⬇
• or <your domain name> <sub name>.sa ⬇
• So that the <sub name> is one of the main subs of Saudi domains (e.g., edu.sa, org.sa, or gov.sa).⬇
• <your domain name> may contain any series of characters (a-z) and numbers (0-9). ⬇
• In addition, the symbol (-), provided that it consists of two or more characters and does not exceed 63 characters.
