Registration

After you request the registration of a .ht domain, the administrative contact and owner will receive two e-mails. The first one is a welcome message, the second one is an activation e-mail with a link that the recipient must click to accept the TLD Registrant Agreement and AUP policy, and confirm the validity of contact details.

By renewal or change of registrant the policy must again be accepted and the contact details confirmed within 21 days in order to prevent suspension of the domain.

Transfer

To transfer a .ht domain name, please make sure to first get the authorisation code from the current registrar. The losing registrar has to confirm or reject the transfer of the domain within 7 days.

A special transfer fee will be charged. The domain will not be renewed during the transfer process. The registration period will not be extended.
