Qatar Domains Registry (QDR)

What is Qatar Domains Registry?

The Qatar Domains Registry (QDR) is the official authority managing Qatar’s country-code top-level domains, including .qa and its Arabic equivalent .قطر.

Established in 2011 under the Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA), QDR is a national registry created by the Qatari government to ensure sovereign control over domain name registrations. It was not founded by individuals but directly by state decision. The registry manages a growing number of domain names, supporting Qatar’s digital development by offering secure, locally governed domain services.
