Parsdata is an Iranian data center service company. Services include virtual hosting, domain registration, and dedicated servers. Currently, it is possible to register Iranian .ir top-level domains. The number of available domains is limited and registration requires being placed on a waiting list. Registered domains can be modified with nameservers and can only be used after approval. The free usage period is one year and can be used for learning and testing purposes if not planning to renew.
Free .ir domains
The Parsdata website is initially in Persian, but can be changed to English by clicking on the corresponding flag in the top right corner. On the homepage, there is a slideshow of images for free registration of .ir top-level domains.

In the middle, there is a green discount code. Each discount code has a limited number of uses and a new code will be refreshed on this page after a certain period of time. If the current code is not usable, one must wait for the next round. The number of uses and refresh time for each round is unknown. This offer is only applicable to .ir domain registrations, with each domain being free for one year. It is only valid for domain registration and not for domain renewal or transfer.
Free registration of Iranian domains
On the left side of the page, you can see the successfully registered domains, with each approved domain being displayed here.
Account registration
Click on "Sign up" at the top of the page to register an account. Only an email address is required for registration, and the email address will be used as the login account. The login password will be a random string of characters sent to the email address. It is recommended to change the password after the first login.
Domain registration
After logging into the account, you can register a domain as shown in the image.
Then, search for the desired .ir domain to register. Detailed steps can be found in the official tutorial with images: https://support.parsdata.com/en-US/kb/services/free-services/how-to-register-free-domain
Entering information such as name, surname, phone number, email, country code, etc. seems to have been omitted in this step, which is different from the tutorial, but it does not affect the registration process.
Domain approval
After successful registration, there will be an approval stage where the account will be empty. Approximately one day later, an email will be received stating "Congratulations! The registration of freeaday.ir has been approved," indicating that the domain has been approved.
