\n Registering domains<\/h3>
\n

\n Who can register a .co.nl domain? <\/span>\n <\/h4>\n
\n \n

.co.nl is available to everyone. When .co.nl was launched in 2008, existing .nl domain holders and trademark owners were invited to a priority phase. Since the priority phase is over, .co.nl domains are available to Dutchies and<\/em> non-Dutchies alike. Just abide to our acceptable use policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>

\n

\n How can I register a .co.nl domain? <\/span>\n <\/h4>\n
\n \n

Most of the webhosting companies in the Netherlands offer .co.nl as one of their standard extensions. The bigger international registrars also offer .co.nl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before registering a .co.nl domain, check if the domain name is still available for registration. You can do so with your hosting company, or on our homepage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also consider whether you just want your domain name, or also webhosting and\/or e-mail. Check the offerings of several parties and define your criteria before choosing one. A selection of .co.nl providers is available on our Registrars page<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>

\n

\n What does a .co.nl domain cost? <\/span>\n <\/h4>\n
\n \n

The price for a .co.nl domain is defined by the registrars and resellers, and may vary among different providers. It might be beneficial to compare prices before you start registering your domain. Do not forget to check the price for renewal as well, to prevent surprises after the first year when your domain is up for renewal.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n Transferring domains<\/h3>
\n

\n How can I transfer my domain name to another provider? <\/span>\n <\/h4>\n
\n \n

It is very easy to transfer a domain name to another provider. First, request from your current provider the authorisation code<\/em> and ask them to remove any transfer lock from the domain. Send the authorisation code to your new provider. They will start the transfer. You might receive one or a few e-mails, and at most five days later, the domain is under management of the new provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be careful<\/strong>: when you transfer a domain name, your web hosting and your e-mail is not<\/em> automatically transferred as well! Contact your new provider for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that a transfer cannot be started within 60 days from registration, a previous transfer or an owner change.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n Migrating to .co.nl<\/h3>
\n

\n How can I migrate my website to a .co.nl? <\/span>\n <\/h4>\n
\n \n

If you have an existing website already, for example a .com or .nl domain, you can migrate to your own .co.nl domain. Check with your webhosting provider for all details; maybe they can even help you with a simple migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
