Requirements
Who can register a .com.ms?
- There are no restrictions: anyone can register a .com.ms domain name.
Good to know when registering
- After registration, you as the registrant and the administrative contact will receive two emails: a welcome message and an activation email with a link.
- Using the link in the activation email, you accept the registry's registrant agreement and acceptable use policy and confirm that your contact details are correct.
Transfer
Transferring a .com.ms
- You can transfer a .com.ms domain name using a transfer code from your current registrar.
- You can also transfer without a transfer code. In that case, the current registrar must approve or reject the transfer within 14 days.
- If the current registrar doesn't respond within 14 days, the registry automatically rejects the transfer.
- A transfer doesn't renew your domain name, so the registration period stays the same.
The transfer code
- You don't strictly need a transfer code, but with a code the transfer starts immediately.
- The registrant or the administrative contact can request the transfer code from the current registrar.
Owner
Change of registrant
Change of registrant
- If you want to change the registrant's name or organisation, you need a change of registrant; simply updating the contact details isn't enough.
- After a change of registrant, the new registrant must accept the registry's policy and confirm the contact details via the activation email within 21 days. If they don't, the domain name will be suspended.
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- With every renewal, you need to accept the registry's policy and confirm your contact details again within 21 days. If you don't, the domain name will be suspended.
