As a result of the tremendous development in the world of the internet and the increase in the registration of electronic domain names, with many commercial, governmental, and charitable projects moving to benefit from these developments due to the ease of access that the internet provides to projects and the rapid and sustainable achievement of the desired benefits, legal regulations have worked to create a legal framework that governs electronic domain names.
