How registration works

From eligibility to activation.

Your registrar manages the application and customer relationship. The registry maintains the rules and coordinates the registration process.

  1. Choose and prepare

    Select a suitable namespace and provide your registrar with accurate registration details and any required eligibility evidence.

  2. Review and approve

    The application is checked against the namespace criteria, naming restrictions, and applicable registration policies.

  3. Activate and maintain

    Your registrar coordinates activation, renewals, record updates, and first-line support throughout the domain’s lifecycle.
