PL Domain

A .pl is the ccTLD for Poland, managed by NASK (Research and Academic Computer Network). Introduced in 1990, it has grown to be one of the most popular country domains in Europe.

It gives businesses, organizations, and individuals an online identity that connects directly to the Polish market.

With over 38 million people and one of the fastest-growing e-commerce sectors in Europe, Poland offers huge opportunities for brands that want to build trust locally.

Registering a .pl domain signals that you are committed to the Polish market. Customers see your site as more relevant, reliable, and easier to connect with compared to global extensions.

Third Level PL Domains

You can register domains directly under .pl or use second-level options such as:

• .com.pl – commercial use
• .org.pl – nonprofits and organizations
• .net.pl – technology and network providers
• .info.pl – information services
• .gov.pl – restricted to government entities

For businesses, .pl and .com.pl are the most widely recognized.
