A generic domain name is one that is constituted from dictionary words used in regular language. Generic domains should mean something and will have value to a wide range of different people.
I have been trying to register a one-character or two-letter .IN domain, but can't. Why?All one-character and two-character domains, are reserved by the Government and NIXI order, and are not available to the public. Source: Registry.In Why does my domain have a "inactive" status?This status is placed upon any domain that does not have at least two nameservers associated with it. The inactive status means that the domain will not be included in the zone file, and will not be usable on the Internet. Once you add two nameservers through your registrar, the "inactive" status will automatically be taken off and the domain will propagate correctly. Source: Registry.In |
How do I transfer my domain name?For Registrant-to-Registrant Transfers The registrant should update the contact information through the sponsoring registrar. NIXI cannot do this for you; you must do it through the registrar. For Registrar-to-Registrar Transfers 1.Obtain the authorization code from the current sponsoring registrar of the domain. Please consult the WHOIS to find out who the sponsoring registrar is. Source: Registry.In What is an authorization code (auth code)?The authorization code is a 6- to 16-character code assigned by the registrar. The auth code is a password for the domain. Auth codes are an extra security measure, ensuring that only the owner of the domain can make transfers. If you do not know your auth code, you can obtain it from your registrar. Registrars are contractually required to provide the auth code upon the request by the registrant. • Sponsoring registrars can obtain the auth code for their sponsored domains by sending an EPP <DOMAIN_INFO> command to the registry. Registrars are only able to obtain auth codes for the domain names they sponsor. • NIXI does not give out authorization codes to registrants. NIXI advises that you change your auth code after a transfer. You can do this through the new (gaining) registrar. Source: Registry.In |
