.re Domain

.re is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Réunion (a French island located in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar). Along with .fr, .tf, and .ovh, it is administered by AFNIC. In recent years, the .re TLD has been increasingly used for real estate–related domains, including place names (neighborhoods, cities, countries, etc.), real estate companies, developers/projects, property-related websites, and individual realtors and estate agents around the world. The .re domain has also been applied to insurance and reinsurance companies (e.g. swiss.re), those involved with reverse engineering, and as domain hacks for words ending in .re (for example, adventu.re or nearfutu.re), similar to contractions used with other TLDs (for example, websites such as bit.ly and delicio.us). Domains with the .re TLD can be registered with some of the largest online registrars such as Name.com, as well as most European domain registrars. Since 6 December 2011, the rules for registering French domains have shifted. The owner of a domain no longer needs to be based in France or Overseas France anymore, with all individuals, companies and organizations residing in the European Union able register domains of France or its possessions.

Transfer

The transfer must be initiated by our system.

To successfully initiate a transfer, you must provide a valid authorization code. You can obtain the authorization code from the old registrar.

If the old registrar does not respond to the transfer within 8 Days, the transfer is automatically confirmed.

Usually, a transfer completes in 8 Days.

After a transfer, our system synchronizes the domain owner from the registry to our system. If possible, you can initiate an owner change if you want to replace the synchronized owner.

Owner Change

An owner change may incur fees. Please check your price list. The owner change can be easily initiated in our system.

The old Owner and the new Owner receive an email from the registrar and must confirm the owner change.

In case of an owner change, the paid period is reset and the domain is immediately renewed for one year.
