Recommended TLD billing settings

This guide provides up-to-date recommendations for configuring TLDs as products in Upmind. Given the wide variety of extensions available and the specific conditions that different registrars may apply, it is essential to have precise parameters that comply with current regulations and facilitate domain administration.

​

General considerations

​

Registration periods

Most TLDs allow registrations in whole intervals of 1 to 10 years. Although some TLDs may allow extended periods, we recommend adhering to the standard range for consistency and compatibility in management.

​

Renewals and transfers

Renewals: Renewals are only allowed in full periods (for example, 3.5-year renewals are not allowed). Post-Expiration Period: After the expiration date, most domains offer a grace period of approximately 36 days, during which the domain remains active. Redemption: After the grace period, there is a redemption period (usually 30 additional days) in which the domain can be recovered at a higher cost. Transfers: When transferring an existing domain, a year is usually automatically added to the registration period, ensuring continuity of ownership.

​

Specific conditions and exceptions

Some TLDs have particular rules. For example, certain providers may apply specific conditions for extensions such as .ch, .io, or others. It is essential to review the policies of the corresponding registrar to ensure that the applied configurations are correct.

​

Configuration in Upmind

In Upmind, each domain is treated as a configurable product, which allows specific conditions to be applied individually. However, when managing a large number of domains, the platform offers default recommendations to simplify administration and ensure compliance with industry standards.
