Requirements
Who can register a .is?
- The registrant and the administrative contact must be real people or a real organisation. A job title such as Domain Administrator or Hostmaster is not allowed and will lead to ISNIC suspending the domain name.
Additional details for registration
- If you register in the name of an organisation, you can split the company name and enter it as a first name and surname.
Good to know when registering
- You always register a .is domain name for one year at a time.
Transfer
Transferring a .is
- If you want to transfer a .is domain name to WebOké, you first request the transfer at WebOké.
- Your current registrar then hands the domain name over to the new registrar via ISNIC.
- As the registrant, you'll receive an email with a confirmation link. Click that link to approve the transfer.
- A transfer to WebOké takes about an hour.
- If you transfer away from WebOké, WebOké hands the domain name over to your new registrar. As soon as the registry receives this, the change is processed almost immediately.
