.amsterdam

On this page, you will find all the information about .amsterdam domains that you register with TransIP. Please note that different registrars may have different procedures. If your domain is not registered with TransIP, please consult your own domain registrar.

Registration

• A .amsterdam domain can contain a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 63 characters.
• Emojis are not available for .nl domains. The use of special characters/punycode is also not possible.
• .amsterdam domain registrations are annual and are automatically renewed at the end of the registration period of a year.
• A .amsterdam domain can not be transferred for 60 days after registration.

Transfers

• Transferring a .nl domain always requires a transfer code, which can always be requested at your current registrar. More information about transferring your domain name can be found here.
• When a transfer is started, the owner of the domain will receive an email which can be used to cancel or confirm the transfer. If the owner neither confirms nor cancels, the transfer will take place after 5 days.

WHOIS

• You can update all WHOIS data of your domain via the control panel. Follow the steps in the article 'Changing the registrant (owner) of your domain name'.

Other

• When you cancel a .amsterdam domain name, the domain enters a Quarantine period (also known as 'Redemption period') for 40 days. During these 40 days, the domain can still be restored. After the 40-day period, the domain becomes available for registration again.
  • The registry charges fees for reactivating a domain, which we have to pass on to you.
