Questions before you register or transfer a .RE?
Short answers for buyers who need to confirm .RE use cases, restrictions, transfers, bulk search, payment, or reseller/API support before continuing.
Who manages .RE?
.RE is listed by IANA as the ccTLD for Réunion and is managed by AFNIC. AFNIC also publishes naming policy for .fr, .re, .yt, .pm, .wf, and .tf.
Can anyone register a .RE domain?
.RE is not the same as a fully unrestricted generic TLD. Registrant eligibility is based on AFNIC rules; many registrar sources describe eligibility around the EU/EEA/Switzerland area. Check live requirements before ordering.
What projects fit .RE?
.RE fits Réunion local services, tourism, community projects, French overseas pages, and short brand names where the .RE ending makes sense.
Can I use .RE as a domain hack?
Some buyers use .RE creatively in short names, but a clear local or brand purpose is safer than registering confusing or trademark-sensitive names.
Can I transfer a .RE domain to NiceNIC?
Yes, if the domain is eligible for transfer and you have the required authorization process from the current registrar. Start at domain transfer.
Does .RE support normal DNS records?
Yes. You can configure nameservers, A records, CNAME records, MX records, TXT records, redirects, SSL, and email records according to your hosting provider.
Can I bulk search .RE names?
Yes. Use bulk search for Réunion keywords, travel terms, brand variants, or short naming ideas.
Are some .RE names reserved or blocked?
Yes. AFNIC naming policy includes rules for assignment, management, and names subject to prior review. Availability should always be checked live.
Is .RE suitable for agencies?
Yes, especially for agencies serving Réunion, French overseas, travel, local services, and eligible European customers who need structured domain management.
