Changes announced by .hu registryThe .hu registry has made some changes in the workflow of domain registration. From now on, all .hu registrations, including failed ones, will be fully billed. Our partner has implemented an advanced feature to deal with this. In case of incorrect or incomplete data, our partner’s proxy data will be used to ensure the successful completion of all new .hu registrations. This means that new registration requests can no longer fail or expire and will always be processed successfully. Refunds are no longer available. Once a .hu registration request is submitted and processed with proxy data, it is easy to update it with the correct registrant data. You can do this by sending appropriate documents with proof to our support team. Data correction is free of charge and should be done within a maximum of 3 months after the registration. This new process is already active in our system. Apart from this, one-year registrations will become available for .hu domainsstarting on December 1, 2022. Currently, only a registration term of 2 years is possible. Renewal periods, however, remain the same. |
Quarantine changes for .nzFrom now on, .nz will have new periods for soft and hard quarantine. These changes have been made in effect with the recent registry database migration. The new soft quarantine term will be 42 days, and the new hard quarantine term will be 90 days. If you want to know more, please consult this Knowledge Base article. |
