.CM
.CM extension is really close to the .COM, which can lead to cybersquatting issues. Indeed, a website could pretend it is the official one, or catch your traffic from typos.
.CM domain name registration is relevant for companies, organisations or individuals related to Cameroon, but can also be recommended to anyone who cares about protection policy.

Procedures
Registration:
.CM domaine name registration, or in its third level extensions is totally open without any restrictions.
If your .CM domain name is available, you can register it since you represent a company, an organisation or an individual. You don't have to live or to be based in Cameroon.
Renewal:
Renewal procedures must be carried out before the domain's expiration date otherwise the domain will switch to quarantine status for a 90 days period before being removed. During this period, the domain is no longer active but can still be restored.
Change of registrar:
To transfer a .CM domain name, you need to get its authorization code with your current registrar.
As soon as the transfer is initiated by FranceDNS, if the authorization code is valid and if the domain status is transferrable, the transfer will be completed within a few minutes.
Transfer is free of charge because renewal is not included in the process. You will benefit from our services until your domain's expiration date, on which you can renew your domain.
Change of ownership:
To transfer the registrant of a .CM domain, you need to ensure that the current and new owner email adresses are active.
FranceDNS will contact both parties by email to obtain their agreement. Both will have 7 days to approve and reply. If a refusal or no reply is received during the timeframe, the request will be cancelled.
Once the transfer has been finalised, the domain name's expiration date is not updated.
