Requirements
Who can register a .yachts?
Good to know when registering
- After a successful registration, the registry places a 60-day transfer lock on your domain name. During that period you can't transfer it to another registrar.
Transfer
Transferring a .yachts
- You start the transfer with the transfer code you request from your current registrar.
- Check beforehand that there's no transfer lock on your domain name. You can see this in the WHOIS details.
- Is there a lock set by your current registrar? As the registrant, ask your current registrar to remove it.
- Once you've submitted the request, the registry automatically notifies your current registrar of the transfer.
- Your current registrar sends the registrant, and sometimes the administrative contact as well, an email about the transfer. You can often approve or reject the transfer in that email.
- If you neither approve nor reject the transfer, it's completed automatically after 5 days.
The transfer code
- You need a transfer code to transfer your domain name.
- You get the code from your current registrar. The registrant or the administrative contact of the domain name can request it.
- The code is at least 8 and at most 32 characters long.
- The code contains at least one letter, at least one number and at least one special character, for example ! $ % ? & @ * + - . / or :.
Owner
Change of registrant
- Moving your domain name to a new owner follows ICANN's transfer policy.
