Buying a Cuban Domain Name Dot.cu

Cuba on thre web

With an ever-increasing interest in Cuban business opportunities and trade, I know that many of you are interested in developing a website with the idea of placing and positioning yourself in the market, for the future and are thus keen on a dot.cu domain.

Restrictions and Regulations

Dot.cu is the suffix for web domain names and there are certain rules and restrictions that need to be met if you wish to own a dot.cu domain. The main rules are as follows:

All Cuban names are registered through the Cuban Registry who go by the name CUBANIC (you can find them on http://nic.cuba.cu/). They administer and manage all dot.cu domains.

CITMATEL manages the overall process for CUBANIc and CITMATEL in case you are wondering is the Cuban Ministry of Science, Technology, and Environment.

Dot.cu is the highest-level domain for Cuba.

You can search for available Cuban suffix domains but at the time of checking one domain shows as costing GBP £666.90 for 1 year (roughly USD$1000) on Nominate.com, which seems an extraordinarily high price! The price is matched on bb-online.com

Dot.cu domains are NOT restricted to Cuban businesses and those based on the island. These domains can be owned by foreign entities.

There are no real restrictions on buying a top-level Cuban domain URL name except for the incredibly high price that they presently cost.
