  • The price for an owner change is €100,- excl. VAT (incl. €121,00).

Other

• When you cancel a .es domain, you receive an email from the Spanish registry asking you to confirm or deny your cancellation.
  • If you confirm, the domain enters a Quarantine period (also known as 'Redemption period') for 35 days. During these 35 days, the domain can still be restored. After the 35-day period, the domain becomes available for registration again.
  • If you deny, you have until the end date of your current contract term to reactivate the domain. Note: Your domain is unreachable during this time. After the term of your domain name has expired, the domain is available for registration again.
  • The registry always charges costs for reactivation, which we have to defer to you.
