Requirements
Who can register a .ar?
- A .ar domain always runs through a trustee service. This is applied automatically to every registration; you can't register the domain without a trustee service.
Good to know when registering
- Registrations directly under .ar, so without an extra level in between, have been possible since 15 September 2020.
- You register a .ar domain on a monthly or yearly basis.
Transfer
Transferring a .ar
- The .ar registry doesn't work with registrars. A regular transfer to another registrar is therefore not possible.
- Want to move your .ar domain to WebOké? Then you change the registrant details yourself via the website of the registry, NIC Argentina.
- You log in to NIC Argentina with your CUIL or CUIT number and the matching password. Then follow the first six steps of the guide on the registry's website.
- In those steps, you enter the identification number of the trustee service. You'll get this number from WebOké. As soon as the trustee service accepts the handover, WebOké takes over the management of your domain.
- Get in touch with WebOké before you start, so we can prepare the transfer together with you.
Owner
Change of registrant
Change of registrant
- The registry doesn't allow a regular change of registrant. If you change the contact details, the registrar only records them in its own administration. At the registry, the trustee service remains listed as the registrant.
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- You can't renew or cancel a .ar domain separately. The registrar takes care of renewing it or letting it expire for you.
- Once a .ar domain has been deleted, you can no longer restore it.
