The .ro extension is Romania’s country code top-level domain, administered by ROTLD (managed by the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics, ICI Bucharest). The first .ro domain names were registered in 1993.
The popularity of .ro domain names has grown steadily over the years, particularly amongst businesses and individuals operating in Romania.
