- There are no restrictions for .ruhr: anyone can register a domain name.
- If you don't have a valid German postal address, you can still register the domain name with a local address through a trustee service.
Good to know when registering
- After a successful registration, the registry places a 60-day transfer lock on the domain name. During this period, you can't transfer it to another registrar.
Transfer
Transferring a .ruhr
- You start the transfer with the transfer code from your current registrar.
- Check the WHOIS beforehand to see whether there's a transfer lock on the domain name. If your current registrar has locked the domain name, ask them to remove the lock.
- The transfer request goes to the registry, which automatically notifies your current registrar.
- Your current registrar sends the registrant, and sometimes also the administrative contact, an email about the transfer. In it, you may be able to approve or reject the transfer.
- If you neither approve nor reject the transfer, it will be completed automatically after 5 days.
The transfer code
- You always need a transfer code to transfer a domain.
- You request the transfer code from your current registrar, through the registrant or the administrative contact of the domain name.
- The code is at least 8 and at most 32 characters long.
- The code contains at least one letter, one number and one special character, such as ! ? & @ or -.
