Requirements
Who can register a .com.ar?
- A .com.ar domain name is always registered through a trustee service. This is mandatory and is applied automatically to every registration.
Good to know when registering
- You've been able to register domain names directly at the second level under .com.ar since 15 September 2020.
- A .com.ar domain name is registered on a monthly or yearly basis.
Transfer
Transferring a .com.ar
- The .com.ar registry doesn't work with registrars. This means a standard transfer to another registrar isn't possible.
- Want to move your .com.ar domain name to WebOké? Then the registrant details need to be updated at the registry so that the trustee is entered as the registrant.
- You do this yourself on the registry's website. You log in with your CUIL or CUIT number and the corresponding password. The registry's website has a full guide.
- In that guide, you only follow the first six steps and enter the trustee's identification number. The trustee then accepts the transfer and WebOké takes over the management of your domain name.
- If you want to transfer a domain to WebOké, please contact us first so we can guide you through the process.
The transfer code
- No transfer code is used for .com.ar, because transfers between registrars don't exist.
Owner
Change of registrant
Change of registrant
- Changes to contact details are not passed on to the registry.
- Want to change the registrant's name or organisation? You can't do that with a simple update of the details. It requires an official change of registrant.
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- You can't renew a .com.ar domain name separately. The domain name runs on a monthly or yearly basis and WebOké takes care of the renewal for you.
- You also can't cancel a .com.ar domain name directly. If you want to get rid of it, you let the domain name expire.
- An expired or cancelled .com.ar domain name can no longer be recovered.
