Poland domain registration

Register a .pl domain

Register a .pl domain — the ending Polish search users default to trusting over .com. .pl is Poland's country-code domain, operated by NASK (Naukowa i Akademicka Sieć Komputerowa) — the same national research and academic network that brought Poland online in 1991 and has run the registry ever since. Registration opened to individuals and companies worldwide, with no requirement to be based in Poland, making it the default signal to Polish customers that a site is built for them.

$16.50/yr Renews at the same price. No tricks. No privacy (registry rule)

Who picks .pl?

Businesses selling into Poland (e-commerce, SaaS, local services) that want to appear domestic to Polish buyers
Polish expats and diaspora communities running organizations, media, or community sites abroad
Companies wanting a defensive registration to stop others from claiming their brand in Poland's market

What it signals

Pros

No residency, citizenship, or local-presence requirement for a standard .pl registration — open to registrants worldwide
NASK has run the registry continuously since it connected Poland to the internet in 1991, so the infrastructure behind it is battle-tested
Reads as trustworthy and local to Polish consumers in a way an out-of-market .com doesn't
What you pay to register is what you'll pay to renew — no markup once the domain's live
Outbound email from your .pl domain gets SPF/DKIM/DMARC configured for you, so it isn't flagged as spam in Poland's mail providers

Watch-outs

Free WHOIS privacy availability depends on registrant type and current NASK/registrar policy, so it isn't guaranteed in every case
Less globally recognizable than .com if your audience extends beyond Poland
We're not the cheapest .pl registrar — some budget resellers beat us on year-one price

Registry restrictions

No proof of Polish residency, citizenship, or local business presence is required for a standard .pl registration — it is open to individuals and legal entities worldwide (an earlier local-presence requirement was removed some years ago).

Common questions about .pl domains

How much does a .pl domain cost?

A .pl domain is $16.50 per year at Modusdom, and it renews at the same $16.50 every year — no discounted first year that jumps later.

Does a .pl domain renew at the same price?

Yes. Our renewal price equals our first-year price — written into our promises — so your .pl stays $16.50/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 .pl domain?

The .pl registry does not permit WHOIS privacy, so registrant contact details are shown per registry policy. That is a registry rule, not a Modusdom upsell — it applies wherever you register a .pl.

Can I transfer an existing .pl 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.

Is a .pl domain right for my business?

A .pl domain tells Polish visitors — and Polish search users — that a business is local or seriously committed to the market, since it's the domain Poles default to trusting over a generic .com for local shopping, services, and news. It is a strong fit for: Businesses selling into Poland (e-commerce, SaaS, local services) that want to appear domestic to Polish buyers; Polish expats and diaspora communities running organizations, media, or community sites abroad; Companies wanting a defensive registration to stop others from claiming their brand in Poland's market.
