Requirements
Who can register a .NET.AE?
- For .NET.AE, you must be a recognised network or IT service provider licensed in the United Arab Emirates.
- If you don't fall into that category, registration is only possible if the registry .aeDA explicitly approves your situation. This rarely happens.
Additional details for registration
- When you register, you state the grounds on which you're eligible. For .NET.AE, that's your status as a recognised network or IT service provider in the United Arab Emirates.
Transfer
Transferring a .NET.AE
- Once the transfer has started, you as the registrant will receive an email asking you to confirm the transfer. Without that confirmation, the transfer won't go ahead and the request will lapse.
- Your current registrar receives a request to approve the transfer and can object to it.
- If your current registrar doesn't respond, the transfer is automatically approved after 48 hours.
The transfer code
- You need a transfer code to transfer a domain.
- The code is 6 to 32 characters long and contains at least one letter and one number.
- The code must not be a word that appears in a dictionary.
Owner
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- If you cancel your domain name, the registry won't delete it until its expiry date.
- If you want the domain name deleted straight away, WebOké can arrange this for you. You will need to provide proof from the registrant, though.
