Click on the subject below to open the dropdown for more information.

Registration

Successful domain registration requires:

the domain's contact handles (owner, administrative, etc.)
two or more nameservers or a nameserver group

Registration is not realtime and can be processed within a few days.

Transfer

A transfer of .gt equals a change in billing contact and admin contact. The current administrative contact (which is us) should send an e-mail with the required change to the registry.

The e-mail must be sent from the administrative contact's e-mail address, and include:

a signed confirmation letter on letterhead of the administrative contact, with the changes explained
a copy of an identity document of the signer (to verify the signature)

Doing the update, both the administrative and the billing contact must be updated to:

Update

Owner change (trade)

The new and old owners should give written approval, on the company's letterheads.
Approval can be sent by e-mail to the registry at admin@cctld.gt.

Notify support@openprovider.nl once this is started so we can update the domain in the control panel to correspond the new owner.
