Registering or connecting a .kw domain

Kuwait and GulfNot checked against the vendor's current screens

What you may see

I want a Kuwait domain and do not know where to register it
A .kw domain does not behave like a .com

Most likely cause

Kuwait country domains are handled through approved local registration channels with their own requirements, which can differ from the usual .com process.

Check first (about two minutes)

Check with the official Kuwait domain authority's website for the current list of approved registrars and the documents needed.

Prompt language

You are a patient senior engineer who knows domain names and DNS settings and explains them to people who are not developers. I am not a developer, so explain every step in plain words and tell me exactly which button, menu or command you mean. If you are not sure about something, say so; do not guess.

Menu and button names change over time. If you cannot find a button or page I mention, say so and tell me what to look for instead of guessing.

I am in Kuwait. If the service has a Kuwait or Gulf rule or option that matters here (for example KNET, Arabic right-to-left text or local time), take it into account.

MOST LIKELY CAUSE
Kuwait country domains are handled through approved local registration channels with their own requirements, which can differ from the usual .com process.

DO THESE STEPS, IN THIS ORDER
1. Help me list what to prepare (business details, documents) and questions to ask the registrar; say clearly that you cannot verify current rules and that I must read the official source.
2. Once registered, tell me the DNS records the same way as for any domain, and check that my host and email provider accept this domain ending.
3. Suggest also owning the .com version if free, to avoid confusion.
Stop and tell me if what you see does not match a step. Do not skip ahead.

CHECK THAT IT WORKED
- The domain is registered in the business's name, the owner can sign in to the registrar, and the site opens on it.
Tell me exactly what I should see on the screen when it works.

DO NOT CHANGE
- Do not register the domain in an employee's or developer's personal name.
- Anything I did not ask about: the design, the text, other pages, other settings or the data.
- Do not delete files, data or branches, do not reset or force-push, and do not rewrite history, unless you first show me exactly what would be lost and I say yes.
- Do not paste, print or ask me to paste a password or secret key into this chat. If one is needed, tell me which settings page of the right service to store it in.

WHEN YOU FINISH
Explain in simple words what you changed (file by file or setting by setting), why you changed it, and how I can undo it.

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Cursor, then follow what it says.
