History

The Lebanese Domain Registry (LBDR) was established in 1993. It offered domains free of charge directly to registrants, without the use of a registrar model. Since 1 February 2021, they introduced a registrar model and registrants can not directly register their domains at the registry anymore. At the same time the registry also introduced a yearly fee for domains and removed the trademark requirement for registrants. ^[2] On 13 July 2023, ICANN took over the registry management of .lb in a caretaker role due to the death of the registry manager. ^[3] On 21 January 2024, ICANN approved the transfer of .lb to the new registry Internet Society Lebanon. ^[4]
