Requirements
Who can register a .archi?
- A .archi domain name is intended only for architects, architecture firms and organisations involved in architecture. The exact conditions are set out in the registry's domain name policy for .archi.
- If you don't meet these conditions, the registry may take action, up to and including deleting your domain name.
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 the domain to another registrar.
Transfer
Transferring a .archi
- First check that there's no transfer lock on your domain name. You can see this in the WHOIS details.
- If your current registrar has set a transfer lock, you can ask them to remove it as the owner.
- Request the transfer code from your current registrar and pass it on to your new registrar, who will submit the transfer to the registry.
- The registry lets your current registrar know that a transfer is in progress. They send an email to the owner and sometimes also to the administrative contact, possibly with the option to approve or reject the transfer.
- If you don't explicitly approve or reject the transfer, it will be completed automatically after 5 days.
- You can't transfer a newly registered domain name for the first 60 days.
The transfer code
- You need a transfer code to transfer a .archi domain name.
- You get the transfer code from your current registrar. The owner or the administrative contact of the domain can request it.
- The code is at least 6 and at most 16 characters long.
- The code must contain at least one letter, one number and one special character, such as ! $ % ? & @ * + - or /.
Owner
Change of registrant
- ICANN's transfer rules apply when transferring a .archi domain name to a different owner.
