.CH is the TLD for Switzerland, and is regulated by the SWITCH registry. .CH is an open registry; you do not have to be a Swiss resident or business operator to register a .CH domain.

All modifications to the domain (DNS, contact changes, etc.) must be confirmed by the registrant, either by replying to a confirmation email from the registry or by sending a fax on company letterhead.

Registration term: 1 year

DNS requirements: 2-4

Redemption Period: 40 days

By default, .CH domains are autorenewed; to cancel autorenew, you must delete the domain 30 days before the expiry date.

• OpenSRS provides 24/7 Reseller Support via telephone or email. Visit our Contact page for complete details.
• Accepted payment methods along with terms and conditions are available here.

When a .CH domain is transferred to OpenSRS, there is no change to the expiry date unless the transfer date is less than 30 days from the current expiry date, in which case, the name is renewed and one year is added to the registration term. The cost of the renewal is charged once the transfer completes. Registrar transfers require an authorization code. The registrant can obtain this code from the either SWITCH or, if applicable, the partner of SWITCH where they are currently registered. The code can be entered in the SRS Order Notes.

If you need the Authcode for a .CH domain that is registered with itristan Media, email support@itristanmedia.com

The change of ownership process for .CH domains is the same as for gTLDs.
