Requirements
Who can register a .网络?
- Anyone can register a .网络 domain name; there are no restrictions on who can be the registrant.
- The Chinese registry CNNIC checks ID documents. For a registrant outside China, this check will fail if the full name on the ID document contains special characters, such as ä, ü, ö or é.
- Is the registrant a business and does the contact person's name contain special characters? Then you can register the domain name in the name of someone else within the business whose name has no such characters and who is willing to send in an ID document.
Additional details for registration
- For the registrant, you provide the number of your ID document or the registration number in a trade register.
- You also state what type of proof you're using, for example a passport or another document.
- You can only use an ID card, business licence or organisation code certificate as proof if you live or are based in China.
Documents
- You send a copy of the ID or registration document you provided by email to [email protected].
- Use the subject line: Register [domain name] documents, for example Register example..网络 documents.
- The document must be a jpg, jpeg, png or gif file of no more than 1 MB.
Good to know when registering
- After a successful registration, the registry places a 60-day transfer lock on the domain name.
Transfer
Transferring a .网络
- Check in the WHOIS that there's no transfer lock on the domain name. If there's a lock set by the current registrar, ask that registrar to remove it.
- Request the transfer code from your current registrar and enter it when you request the transfer.
- The registry notifies your current registrar, who sends the registrant an email about the transfer, often with the option to approve or reject it.
- If you neither approve nor reject the transfer, it will be completed automatically after 5 days.
The transfer code
- You need a transfer code for a transfer. As the registrant or administrator of the domain name, you can get it from your current registrar.
- The code is 8 to 32 characters long and contains at least one letter and at least one digit.
Owner
Change of registrant
- ICANN's transfer rules apply to a change of registrant.
