Requirements
Who can register a .brussels?
Good to know when registering
- After a successful registration, the registry puts a 60-day transfer lock on your domain name. During that period, you can't transfer the domain name to another registrar.
- Some domain names are reserved and sold by the registry itself. You can only register a name like that with a code you've received from the registry.
Transfer
Transferring a .brussels
- You start the transfer with your domain name's transfer code. The request goes to the registry, which automatically notifies your current registrar.
- Your current registrar sends the registrant, and sometimes the administrative contact too, an email about the transfer. You can often approve or reject the transfer from that email.
- If you neither approve nor reject the transfer, it's completed automatically after 5 days.
- Check the WHOIS beforehand to make sure there's no transfer lock on your domain name. If your current registrar has set a lock, you as the registrant can ask for it to be removed.
- A transfer lock applies for 60 days after registration. You can't transfer during that period.
The transfer code
- You need a transfer code for a transfer. As the registrant or administrative contact, you request it from your current registrar.
- The code is at least 8 and at most 32 characters long.
- The code must contain at least one letter, one number and one of these special characters: ! @ % $ . : ; ,
