Fees

Registration of new domains

New domains are registered for an initial period of one year. The fee for the first year is composed of a one-time set-up charge of €10 and an annual registration fee that depends on the type of domain name that is being registered, as shown in Table 1. All fees are shown inclusive of 18% VAT¹.

Note:

• Fees for new domains should be settled within one month from date of registration to avoid suspension or cancellation of domain.

• Fees are non-refundable even if domain is not required for the full year.

Renewal of existing domains

Existing domain names can be renewed for one-year or two-year periods, as shown in Table 2. All fees are shown inclusive of 18% VAT¹.

Note:

• Renewal fees become due two months before domain expiry and should be settled before expiry to avoid suspension or cancellation of the domain.

• Fees are non-refundable even if domain is not required for the full year or two-year renewal period of renewal. Furthermore, once a domain is renewed, any subsequent revision in fees will not affect the renewed period.

Notes:
