Open global registration

Questions before you register or transfer a .CH?

Short answers for buyers who need to confirm .CH availability, Swiss-market use cases, naming rules, bulk search, transfer steps, payment, or reseller/API support before continuing.

Who should register a .CH domain?

.CH is suitable for Swiss businesses, ecommerce sites, finance and technology teams, international brands, local services, agencies, hosting providers, and domain buyers that need a Switzerland-focused web address. You can start with a .CH domain search on this page.

Do I need to be Swiss to register a .CH domain?

No. SWITCH explains that you can register a .CH domain name without being Swiss, without living in Switzerland, and without having a business based in Switzerland. You still need accurate holder information and must follow the registry rules.

What are the main .CH naming rules?

SWITCH rules generally require .CH domain names to be 3 to 63 characters before the extension, avoid prohibited hyphen positions, and use permitted characters. Some names, including certain reserved public names, may have special rules.

Can I use .CH for a website outside Switzerland?

Yes. A .CH domain can be registered and used by international buyers, but users may still read it as a Swiss-market signal. If your project mainly targets another country, you may also compare .COM or local ccTLD options before registering.

Can I register many .CH domains at once?

Yes. You can search one name here, or prepare multiple names through NiceNIC bulk domain search. Bulk workflows are useful for agencies, brand-protection lists, and resellers reviewing many Swiss-market names.

What do I need before transferring a .CH domain?

To transfer a .CH domain, you normally need the transfer code from the current registrar and the domain must not be blocked by registry, registrar, or legal status. Start from the domain transfer page when you are ready.

Does NiceNIC support DNS, SSL, privacy, and email after .CH registration?

Yes. NiceNIC supports domain management, DNS updates, SSL certificates, and business email options. For privacy-related needs, review the domain privacy service page and the public WHOIS/RDDS rules that apply to .CH.

Are public .CH domain sales useful for valuing my name?

Public .CH sales examples can show market context, especially for short or category-defining Swiss and German-language keywords. They should not be treated as a promise of future resale outcome for any other .CH domain.

Is NiceNIC suitable for .CH resellers and hosting platforms?

Yes. NiceNIC supports bulk domain management, reseller API integration, and account-level workflows for agencies, hosting providers, developers, and platforms that manage domain services at scale.

Secure the .CH name before someone else does.

Register a new .CH, transfer an existing domain, or upgrade your account level for bulk registration and reseller API use.
