Procedures
Registration:
.SCIENCE domain name registration is opened to all without any restrictions or special actions.
To register a domain name, search for the availability of your domain and add it into your cart.
Renewal:
Renewal procedure must be carried out before the domain's expiration date otherwise the domain will switch to a blocked status (not active) for 30 days. If the domain is not renewed at the end of this period, then it will switch to redemption status for another 30 days, during which it can be restored. If not, it will be definitely deleted.
Change of registrar:
To transfer a .SCIENCE domain, you need to:
- ensure that the domain has not been registered/transfered in the last 60 days or renewed in the last 45 days
- ensure that the protection against transfers (Registrar Lock) is not activated
- ensure that the owner and administrative contact email adresses are active
- get the authorization code with the current registrar
Accordance with the ICANN inter-registrar transfer rules, FranceDNS will contact the administrative contact and the owner by email to obtain their agreement. Both will have 5 days to approve and reply :
- If all replies are positive within 5 days, the transfer will be carried out.
- If no reply is received within 5 days, the request will be cancelled
- If a refusal from the owner or admin contact is received, the request will be cancelled.
If the transfer can be initiated, we will send the request to the registry with the authorization code. It then requests the agreement of the current registrar, it will have 5 days to reply:
- If the reply is positive within 5 days, the transfer will be carried out.
- If no reply is received within 5 days, the transfer will be carried out automatically.
- If a refusal is received, the request will be cancelled.
Once the transfer has been finalised, the domain name's expiration date is extended for a one-year period.
Change of ownership:
To transfer the registrant of a .SCIENCE domain, you need to ensure that the current and new owner email adresses are active.
According to the ICANN rules, 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.
