.ae is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the United Arab Emirates. It is administered by Etisalat.

Second and third level registrations

Registrations are permitted directly at the second level or at the third level beneath several category labels. Formerly, .co.ae was used for commercial entities, but this has been deprecated in preference to the commercial use of second-level registrations; however, existing .co.ae registrations are allowed to be retained if their registrants so desire.

.ae — Companies, Organizations or Individuals
.net.ae — Network Providers
.gov.ae — Government and Ministries
.ac.ae — Colleges, Universities or Academic Institute
.sch.ae — Public and Private Schools
.org.ae — Non Profit Organizations
.mil.ae — Military Entities
.pro.ae — Professionals
.name.ae — Individuals

Most .ae domain names are registered with the official UAENic registry and AESERVER.COM UAE

Re-delegation of .ae

During GITEX2006, the Telecommunication Regulatory Authority TRA announced that, the .ae ccTLD management and operations will be re-delegated to the TRA from Etisalat/UAEnic, the current .ae ccTLD manager. A New entity called .ae Domain Administration .aeDA is being formed to take care of management and operations of .ae based on latest DNS and Domain Registry technologies. It is expected that .aeDA will launch their services by end of 2007. For the first time, Internet users in the UAE will be able to register/manage their Domain Names under .ae automatically using online system without going through manual process.
