.ph is the country code extension for the Philippines, which can be freely registered by people from abroad.
With a population of over 110 million, the Philippines is one of the world’s most active internet-using countries, where English is an official language. A .ph domain name indicates a local presence, whilst the letters ‘PH’ may also refer to the words ‘phone’ or ‘photo’.

How long will it take to be ready?
New domain registration
The registration of .ph domains is an automated process, so registration is virtually instantaneous; you can start using your new domain name within a few minutes of placing your order.
Domain transfer
To transfer your existing .ph domain name to us, you will need to disable the transfer lock with your current registrar and obtain the authorisation (Auth) code for the domain. The transfer process usually takes a few days.
