The Jordan National Information Technology Center has announced it halved the registration fees for .jo domain names on 1 July.
The Jordanian ccTLD is one of the smaller ones with 4,809 domain name registrations as of 20 July, almost half (2,225) at the second level and almost one third (1,546) under .com.jo.
The new fees will see .jo domain names now available for registration for $71, and given the original fee was double this it’s not hard to see why, in part, registration numbers were so low. Registrations in third level domains are lower.
Eligibility for .jo domain names is explained below.
