Why choose a .rs domain?

The .rs domain is the national domain of Serbia (country code Top Level Domain - ccTLD), managed by RNIDS (the Serbian National Internet Domain Registry). It was launched in 2008 and is a popular choice for brands that want a distinctive, recognizable .rs web address.

A .rs domain offers a number of advantages. Search engines read the .rs extension as a regional signal that can help with local SEO for the .rs market, and the extension gives a brand a recognizable, country-specific identity. It is also widely available, so memorable short names are easier to secure than on saturated generic extensions.

To register a .rs domain you need a registry such as BeoHosting. The process is simple and the domain is usually active within a few hours of payment.

RNIDS requirements for registering a .rs domain

RNIDS (the Serbian National Internet Domain Registry) sets certain rules for registering .rs domains. Here are the most important requirements:

Allowed characters

A domain name may contain letters (a-z), numbers (0-9) and a hyphen (-). It cannot start or end with a hyphen. The minimum length is 2 characters and the maximum is 63 characters.

Required details for individuals

Full name, residential address, email address, phone number and personal ID number (for Serbian citizens) or passport number (for foreign nationals).

Required details for legal entities

Company name, registered office, email, phone, company registration number and tax ID (PIB). For foreign companies - the registration number from the country of incorporation.

Prohibited domains

You cannot register domains identical to existing protected trademarks, domains that contain offensive content, or domains reserved for state institutions.

Accuracy of data

All registrant data must be accurate and up to date. RNIDS has the right to suspend a domain if it finds the data to be false or incorrect. The owner is obliged to update the data within 30 days of any change.

The .rs domain registration process - 6 steps

Registering a .rs domain with BeoHosting is simple and takes only a few minutes.

1

Check domain availability

Use BeoHosting domain search to check whether the name you want is free. Enter the desired name without an extension and the system automatically checks availability for .rs, .co.rs, .org.rs and other variants.

Important: If .rs is taken, try the .co.rs or .org.rs variant.

2

Choose the registration period

.rs domains are registered for a period of 1 to 10 years. A longer period means you do not have to worry about renewal, and the price per year is the same. We recommend a minimum of 2 years to avoid the risk of a forgotten renewal.

Important: RNIDS sends reminders before expiry, but it is wise to have automatic renewal.

3

Prepare the required documentation

To register a .rs domain you need: for individuals — first name, last name, address and personal ID number (or passport number for foreigners); for legal entities — company name, registered office, registration number and tax ID. All data must be accurate because it is verified.

Important: RNIDS may suspend a domain if the data is incorrect or false.

4

Fill in the registration form

Enter the details of the domain owner (registrant), the administrative contact and the technical contact. With BeoHosting, the technical contact is filled in automatically with our details, so you only enter the owner information.

Important: The domain owner (registrant) holds all rights to the domain. Be careful to enter accurate details.

5

Complete the payment

BeoHosting accepts payment by card (Visa, MasterCard), payment slip, PayPal and bank transfer. After the payment is confirmed, the domain is automatically registered and activated within a few hours.

Important: Keep your payment confirmation as proof of registration.

6

DNS configuration

After registration, you need to set the DNS records (name servers) to point to your hosting account. If you use BeoHosting hosting, DNS is configured automatically. For external hosting, enter the name servers of your hosting provider.

Important: DNS propagation takes 2-48 hours. During that time, the site may be unavailable.

Frequently asked questions about the .rs domain

Answers to the most common questions about our services.

Anyone can register a .rs domain - individuals (Serbian citizens and foreigners), legal entities registered in Serbia and abroad, sole traders and associations. A valid identification document is required for registration - a personal ID number or passport number for individuals, a company registration number or tax ID for legal entities.

The registration price of a .rs domain ranges from roughly €13 to €23.50 per year, depending on the registry. BeoHosting offers competitive prices for .rs domains with WHOIS privacy protection included and free DNS management. The renewal price is usually the same as the registration price.

Registering a .rs domain usually takes 1-24 hours from the moment of payment. In most cases, the domain is active within a few hours. DNS propagation (so the domain is visible everywhere) can take up to 48 hours, but is usually done within 2-4 hours.

RNIDS (the Serbian National Internet Domain Registry) is the organization responsible for managing .rs and .srb domains. RNIDS defines registration rules, accredits registries and maintains the technical infrastructure. You cannot register domains directly with RNIDS, only through a partner registry such as BeoHosting.

Yes, foreign individuals and legal entities can also register a .rs domain. Foreign individuals need a passport number, and foreign companies need the registration number from the country in which they were founded. BeoHosting accepts international payments and provides support in English.

.rs is the Latin-script national domain of Serbia and the most widely used. .срб is the Cyrillic-script national domain that uses Cyrillic characters. Both domains are managed by RNIDS. For business use, .rs is more practical because it supports the standard ASCII characters that all systems recognize.
