Looking up…
Registrar or registry?
The registry runs an extension, such as Verisign for .com or ARNES for .si. A registrar is the company you buy and renew the domain through. Registrars of generic extensions are accredited by ICANN and carry an IANA number, which this page shows.
Reporting abuse.
Registrars of generic extensions must publish an abuse contact. Phishing, malware or spam from a domain goes there, with the evidence: the full address of the page, the time you saw it, and copies of the messages. For problems with the site itself, the hosting company is often faster.
Moving a domain to another registrar.
- The owner removes the transfer lock at the current registrar and asks for the authorization code (also called EPP or auth code).
- The new registrar takes the code and usually charges one year of renewal, which is added to the current expiry date.
- For generic extensions, ICANN's transfer policy lets a registrar refuse a transfer within 60 days of the registration or of a previous transfer.
Questions people ask.
How do I find out where a domain is registered?
Type the domain. The registrar comes from the registry's own record, with its IANA ID and abuse contact.
What is the difference between a registrar and a registry?
The registry runs an extension, such as Verisign for .com. The registrar is the company you buy and renew the domain through.
How do I transfer a domain to another registrar?
Unlock it at the current registrar, ask for the authorization code, and start the transfer at the new registrar, which usually charges one year of renewal.
How do I report abuse from a domain?
Write to the registrar's abuse contact with the full address of the page and the time you saw it. For problems with the site itself, the hosting company is often faster.
