.net questions

01Who runs the .net ending?

VeriSign Global Registry Services is the registry for .net, as listed in the IANA root zone database. CertPing sells .net domains as a reseller.

02What is included with a .net domain?

DNS hosting and renewal reminders, a transfer lock you can turn on and off where the registry supports it, and WHOIS privacy where the registry and registrar allow it.

03Can I move my .net domain to CertPing?

Where the price list shows a transfer price, yes: unlock the domain, get its transfer code and start the move in CertPing. Where it does not, transfers are not offered online.

04When do renewal reminders arrive?

CertPing emails you about 30 and 7 days before each renewal date, and again after expiry if it hasn't renewed.
