Who can register a .top?

Good to know when registering

Transfer
Transferring a .top
- First check that the domain name isn't locked. You can see this in the WHOIS. If there's a lock on it, you as the owner can ask your current registrar to remove it.
- After the transfer request, the owner or the administrative contact listed in the WHOIS receives a confirmation email. The transfer only starts once that email has been confirmed, in line with ICANN's rules.
- After confirmation, the request goes via the registry to your current registrar. They send the owner or administrative contact an email that lets you reject the transfer.
- If you don't respond to the email from your current registrar, the transfer will be completed after 5 days.
- If the email address in the WHOIS is invalid, the transfer can't go ahead. In that case, ask your current registrar to update the WHOIS details.
- After a successful transfer, the registry locks the domain name against a new transfer for 60 days.
The transfer code
- You need a transfer code to transfer a domain. The owner or administrative contact requests it from the current registrar.
- The code is 8 to 32 characters long. It contains at least one letter, one number and one special character.
