Domain names are a means of businesses and individuals identifying themselves online. Every URL is unique and a domain name forms the bulk of an internet URL, bookended between a www. prefix and a .com, .org, or alternate suffix. The suffix, .er is a country-code top-level domain, registered for Eritrea in the horn of Africa. Country-code top-level domains are usually only available to residents of the country denoted by the domain's suffix. To purchase an .er domain you will have to contact EriTel directly.
Step 1
Contact EriTel, the telecommunications company responsible for hosting the .er domain name. Call EriTel direct by calling +291 1 200339 or email the U.S. representative responsible for the .er domain, Craig Harmer, at [email protected].

Step 3
