Customer Testimonial

“Part of my role as a PA at Man Investments is the registering of domain names and their renewal globally. We own over 500 domain names and deal with many registrant companies so I do have a lot of experience in this field. Right from the start of .eu the European Domain Name Centre have been extremely helpful, I had no experience of their system, the sunrise period and the following steps to take to register new .eu and subsequently .Asia. Christopher especially talked me through it all and helped with any queries and has continued to be helpful and friendly. I have nothing but good things to say about them in comparison to some of my other domain name registrants. ”

FAQ Quick Answers

Why do I have to renew the domain 30 days before the actual expiry date?

It is better to be safe than sorry! We are obliged by certain hostmasters to verify and pay for renewals up to 30 days before the actual expiry date. Therefore, we need an initial period to make sure that domains are renewed or expired correctly.

Upon renewal the new period will commence when the old period ends, so there is no reason to wait with the renewal until the last moment.

Regulation for Phase 1

To be eligible for a .co domain during the grandfathering phase, eligible entities must:

- Be the registrant of a 3rd-level domain (.com.co, .net.co or .nom.co) which was registered before 30 July 2008
- Domain must be an exact-match to existing 3rd-level domain (e.g. to register colombia.co, the qualifying 3rd-level must be either colombia.com.co, colombia.net.co or colombia.nom.co)
- Registrant information of .co domain names must match the registrant of the existing 3rd-level domain com.co.
- To register .co domain, the 3rd-level (com.co) Auth-code is required.

Please Note: If more than one application for the same domain name is received by the NIC, then the .co domain will be awarded to the application with the oldest registered 3rd-level domain (com.co). (E.g. where two applications for colombia.co are received using colombia.com.co (registered 12 July 2006) and colombia.nom.co (registered 3 November 2002), then application will be awarded to registrant of colombia.nom.co).
