.PL
When it comes to creating a domain with the .pl extension (associated with Poland), it is essential to follow the rules and procedures established by NASK (Research and Academic Computer Network), the entity responsible for managing .pl domains.
Here is an overview of the main rules and procedures to consider when creating a .pl domain:
Rules for Creating a .pl Domain:
- Domain Availability: First and foremost, it is crucial to check the availability of the desired domain. This can be done through accredited registrars for .pl domains or using the online tools provided.
- Domain Name Requirements: The .pl domain name can consist of letters (without accents), numbers, and hyphens (-). It must be between 3 and 63 characters in length and cannot start or end with a hyphen.
- Documentation and Required Information: Usually, specific documentation is not required for registering a .pl domain. However, providing valid personal and contact information may be necessary during the registration process.
- Domain Owner: The owner of the .pl domain can be an individual, legal entity, or organization but must agree to the terms and conditions for domain registration.
- Payment of Fees: There may be annual registration fees for the .pl domain.
- Technical Requirements: The domain must meet the technical requirements set by NASK to be registered and remain active.
- Terms and Conditions: There are rules and terms governing the registration of .pl domains, including respecting intellectual property rights and maintaining accurate contact information for the domain owner.
Registration Procedures:
- Registration through Accredited Registrars: Registering a .pl domain can be done through registrars accredited by NASK, authorized to manage domains on behalf of clients.
- Completion of Registration Form: Provide the required details in the registration form of the chosen registrar and follow specific instructions to complete the domain registration.
General Rules for .pl Domain Transfers:
- Authorization and AuthInfo Code: Similar to other domains, the process of transferring a .pl domain requires an authorization code (AuthInfo Code) obtained from the current registrar. This code is necessary to initiate the domain transfer process.
- Domain Availability and Status: The domain must be active, not locked, and not involved in legal disputes or other issues that hinder its transfer.
- Waiting Time: The process of transferring a .pl domain may take several days to complete. During this period, NASK verifies and authorizes the transfer.
- Payment of Fees: Transfer fees may be charged. It is advisable to check for any additional costs associated with the transfer of the .pl domain.
- Domain Owner Confirmation: The domain owner must explicitly authorize the transfer of the .pl domain. This can be done through an online confirmation process or by following specific instructions provided by the registrar.
- Current Registrar Confirmation: The current registrar (from which the domain is being transferred) may require explicit confirmation from the domain owner before granting the transfer.
Transfer Procedures:
- Initiate the transfer process through the new registrar or hosting service provider you wish to use to manage the .pl domain.
- Provide the required details for the transfer, including the AuthInfo Code and other domain-related information.
- Confirm the intention to transfer the domain following specific instructions provided by the new registrar.
- The transfer process is initiated, and NASK verifies and authorizes the transfer.
It is important to note that transfer procedures and requirements may vary slightly among registrars or service providers. It is always advisable to consult the support of the registrar or service provider for specific instructions and assistance during the .pl domain transfer process.
