A flat annual fee, billed transparently
EUR 9 per year, flat, for every open .ro second-level zone. Pay for 1 to 10 years up front; no auto-renewal without your confirmation.
Same flat price for .ro and every open second-level (.com.ro, .org.ro, .firm.ro, .store.ro, .tm.ro, .nom.ro, .info.ro, .rec.ro, .arts.ro, .nt.ro). Multi-year orders are billed as N years × the annual fee, paid up front.
From idea to live .ro in three steps
No tickets, no waiting. The whole flow is automated and lands at ROTLD in under a minute after payment.
Search at the registry
Type the name you want, pick the TLD. We query ROTLD live and tell you whether it is free, taken or in quarantine.
Provide the registrant
Name (or company + tax ID), postal address, email, phone. Reuse a saved registrant or fill it in once and we keep it for the next domains.
Pay, registered live
Pay the invoice and our system pushes the create command to ROTLD via the API. The domain shows up in your client area in seconds.
ROTLD partner: a better price than buying direct
DreamServer is an official ROTLD partner. That gives us a wholesale rate the registry does not offer to end-customers who order through rotld.ro directly. We pass the saving on to you as a flat EUR 9 per year for any open .ro zone, plus the operational advantages below over a generic global reseller.
Connected directly to ROTLD
Our system talks to ROTLD over the official API on every operation: search, create, renew, transfer, trade, contact-update, DNSSEC, nameservers. No reseller in the middle, no nightly batch job. The state in your client area mirrors the registry one-to-one.
- Sub-second registry lookups, real-time availability
- Domain created at ROTLD within seconds of payment
- Registry messages forwarded to you by email as they arrive
- Live API health dashboard in the Status tab
Identity, contact, trade, all under control
Every .ro domain has a mandatory registrant record at ROTLD. The data you provide on registration can be corrected up to 72 hours after the domain was registered, with no cost on any field. After 72 hours the data is final. The trade procedure is the only way to change the registrant from that point on, and it is not self-service in the client area: open a support ticket and our team handles it for you. The ROTLD trade fee equals a new registration and the existing paid period of the domain is forfeited.
- Saved registrants reusable across all your domains
- Free contact correction (typos, address updates)
- Trades are not self-service: open a support ticket and we handle them end to end (registry trade fee applies)
- Individual or company registrant, both with proper WHOIS
Custom nameservers, signed at the registry
Set up to 6 nameservers per domain, register glue records for in-zone hosts (ns1.yourdomain.ro), and publish DNSSEC DS records straight at ROTLD. The registry signs the .ro zone, so once your DS is in place you have a full chain of trust from the root.
- Up to 6 nameservers per domain (ROTLD limit)
- Glue record support for in-zone NS
- DS records (algorithm + digest) published at ROTLD
- Optional DreamServer authoritative DNS, DNSSEC-signed
Your .ro domain, in your client account
This is exactly the panel you see in your DreamServer client area for any .ro domain you own. A sidebar with all the registry data on the left, and a "What would you like to do today?" card grid on the right with seven actions, each landing on its own form. Click around the cards to preview each one.

🔒 Protected Information
✏️ Editable Information
💻 Current Nameservers
The authoritative nameservers ROTLD publishes for example.ro.
🔍 Nameserver Lookup
Query ROTLD for details about any .ro nameserver administered by this registrar. Enter the full hostname (e.g. ns1.dreamserver.ro).
🔗 Private Nameservers (Child Hosts / Glue Records)
Private nameservers let you use your own hosts as ns1.example.ro or ns2.example.ro. Each record associates a hostname with an IP address directly at the domain registry (.ro). They are required when you want to use nameservers subordinate to this domain.
✏️ Modify an existing nameserver
Update the IP address(es) associated with a registered private nameserver. At least one IP (IPv4 or IPv6) is required.
➕ Register a new nameserver
Create a new glue record for this domain. At least one IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) is required.
🗑️ Delete a nameserver
Remove a registered private nameserver (glue record) from this domain. The operation will fail if the nameserver has the DeleteProhibited status or is still in use by other domains.
🔒 DNSSEC: DS Records
DS records link your domain to a DNSSEC-signed DNS zone, establishing a chain of trust from the parent zone (.ro) to your domain's authoritative nameservers. Up to 4 DS records can be registered per domain.

🔐 Authorization Codes
Already have a .ro? Move it to DreamServer, free.

Read the regulation
The full ROTLD registration regulation, in Romanian, is published on the registry website: rotld.ro/reguli-de-inregistrare. By placing an order you agree to its terms.
Who can register a .ro domain?
Anyone, anywhere in the world, individual or company. ROTLD does not impose nationality or residency requirements on registrants. You only need to provide valid contact details for the WHOIS record.
How much does a .ro domain cost?
EUR 9 per year, flat, for any open .ro second-level zone. Multi-year registrations (up to 10 years in one go) are billed as multiples of the annual fee, paid up front.
What are the rules for the domain name itself?
Minimum 3 characters, maximum 63 per label. Letters a-z, digits 0-9 and the hyphen are allowed. The hyphen cannot be the first or the last character. Romanian diacritics are also supported via IDN (Punycode).
Which Romanian TLDs do you sell?
.ro and the open second-level zones run by ROTLD: .com.ro, .org.ro, .firm.ro, .info.ro, .nom.ro, .rec.ro, .arts.ro, .store.ro, .tm.ro, .nt.ro. All of them register at the same EUR 9 per year.
How fast is registration?
Real-time. As soon as the order is paid, our system talks to ROTLD via the API and the domain is created within seconds. The confirmation arrives by email and the domain shows up in your client area immediately.
Can I bring an existing .ro domain?
Yes, and the transfer is free. ROTLD does not charge a registry fee for inter-registrar transfers and we do not add one either. Your current expiry date is preserved; nameservers, DNSSEC and contacts are kept as-is.
Open a ticket with the domain name and we coordinate with the current registrar through ROTLD, the move usually completes in 1 to 3 working days with zero downtime.
What is a domain trade?
A trade is the official ROTLD process for changing the registrant of a .ro domain (typically a sale or company transfer). Both the current registrant and the new registrant must consent.
Trades are not available as a self-service option in your client area. If you need one, open a support ticket with the new registrant data and our team runs the trade for you, end to end.
The ROTLD trade fee equals a new domain registration (EUR 9) and the existing paid period of the domain is forfeited, the trade resets the registration. We do not charge anything on top of the ROTLD trade fee.
Do you support DNSSEC?
Yes. You can publish your DS records (key tag, algorithm, digest type, digest) at the registry from the DNSSEC tab in your client area. We also offer DNSSEC-signed authoritative nameservers if you do not want to run your own DNS.
Can I use my own nameservers?
Yes. You can set up to 6 nameservers per domain (ROTLD limit) and we also let you register glue records for in-zone nameservers (e.g. ns1.yourdomain.ro). Add them from the Nameservers tab.
Is the WHOIS record public?
ROTLD publishes a redacted WHOIS for individual registrants by default (only role-based contact data shown). For company registrants the entity name is public, in line with EU and Romanian law. We do not publish your personal phone or email beyond what ROTLD mandates.
Can I correct the registrant data after registration?
Per ROTLD regulation, every field on the registrant record can be corrected up to 72 hours after the domain was registered, free of charge.
After the 72-hour window the data is final and accepted. The protected fields (full name, fiscal code, registration number) can no longer be edited from the panel. The Update Registrant tab keeps the address, email and phone editable at any time, also free.
Changing the registrant itself after the 72-hour window is only possible via the official ROTLD trade procedure, which is not self-service in your client area. Open a support ticket and our team runs the trade for you. The ROTLD trade fee equals a new registration (EUR 9) and the existing paid period of the domain is forfeited.
Do you charge a transfer-out fee?
No. If you want to move your domain to another registrar, contact us and we release it free of charge. ROTLD does not charge a transfer-out fee either.
What happens at expiry?
ROTLD allows renewal up to 60 days after expiration. After that the domain enters auto-quarantine, eventually being released back to the public pool. We send three renewal reminders (30, 15 and 5 days before expiry) and a final post-expiry reminder.
Can I order multiple years at once?
Yes, up to 10 years in a single registration. We collect the annual fee up front for the years you order and keep the domain registered for the full period you paid.
Are IDN domains (with diacritics) supported?
Yes. .ro is one of the early IDN-enabled TLDs. Names with romanian diacritics register normally; the registry stores the Punycode A-label and you can use either form in URLs and DNS.
Where is the registration metadata stored?
At ROTLD (the official .ro registry, operated by ICI Bucharest). Our copy lives on DreamServer infrastructure in Bucharest, Romania, EU jurisdiction. We never push registrant data outside the EU. Read more about our network and datacenter.
Can I cancel a domain mid-period?
Once the domain is registered the annual fee is non-refundable. You can let it expire at the end of the paid period or trade it to another holder. We do not auto-renew without your confirmation.
Are there bulk discounts?
For 50+ domains in a single account contact us for an enterprise quote. We have a uniform per-domain price, but can simplify billing, registrant pre-fill and DNS management on top.
