Armenia's country-code domain
Register a .am domain
Register a .am domain to spell out "I am ___" the way instagr.am and will.i.am did, or to plant a flag in Armenia. .am is Armenia's ccTLD. It carries no citizenship or residency requirement, which is exactly why it's better known worldwide for wordplay than for geography — instagr.am and will.i.am both ran on it — while remaining a perfectly normal choice for an actual Armenian business.
$93.20/yr
Renews at the same price. No tricks.
Privacy free
Who picks .am?
- Founders and personal brands building an "I am ___" or word-ending-in-"am" domain hack
- Companies operating in or selling into Armenia
- Domain collectors drawn to the same wordplay that made instagr.am and will.i.am stick
What it signals
Nobody lands on .am by accident: registering it reads as a deliberate choice, either a domain hack built around "I am" or a word ending in "am," or a genuine stake in Armenia's market.
Pros
- No Armenian citizenship or residency needed — open to registrants worldwide
- Flat renewal pricing, so a domain hack you build a brand around doesn't get more expensive to keep
- Free WHOIS privacy where the registry permits it
- SPF/DKIM/DMARC set up for you, so mail from your new .am address doesn't land in spam
- Reads cleanly as wordplay, not just as a country suffix
Watch-outs
- Registration has historically involved a manual application step at the registry rather than instant automated issuance — budget a short buffer before launch
- Carries less built-in trust than .com to a visitor who doesn't get the wordplay
- Fewer registrars support .am than support mainstream gTLDs, so bulk tools and transfer options are thinner
Registry restrictions
No Armenian citizenship or residency is required to register a .am domain as an individual or company — registration is open worldwide.

Common questions about .am domains
How much does a .am domain cost?
A .am domain is $93.20 per year at Modusdom, and it renews at the same $93.20 every year — no discounted first year that jumps later.
Does a .am domain renew at the same price?
Yes. Our renewal price equals our first-year price — written into our promises — so your .am stays $93.20/yr in year 1, year 2, and year 10. Most registrars advertise a cheap first year, then quietly renew higher.
Do I get free WHOIS privacy on a .am domain?
Yes — free WHOIS privacy is included on every .am domain, hiding your name, address, email and phone from the public WHOIS record at no extra cost.
Can I transfer an existing .am domain to Modusdom?
Yes. Transfers are free and add a year to your registration. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, copy the EPP/auth code, and start the transfer — we walk you through it, and your website and email keep working the whole time.
