FAQ

A ccTLD (Country Code Top-Level Domain) is a country's national top-level domain. Haiti's is .ht.

.ht ties your activity to Haiti. It is open to everyone, Haitian or not, with or without a legal presence in Haiti (Charter, article 4), and the name gives you a right of use (article 5).

In five steps: choose a name, check it is free, choose an accredited registrar, register, then manage and renew. See the steps in detail.

Only from an accredited registrar: the registry receives no request directly (Charter, article 52). See the registrar directory.

Through your registrar. A name is valid for 12 months; after expiry you have 15 days to renew it (Charter, articles 41 and 42).

To change registrar, pick the new registrar: it carries out the change (Charter, articles 32 to 34). A voluntary transfer to another holder needs the agreement of both parties (article 30).

Contact your registrar without delay. The name is suspended for 45 days after the 15-day renewal period; it is deleted 60 days after expiry and can then be registered by someone else (Charter, articles 36 and 42).

Letters A to Z, digits and hyphen, 63 characters at most per part, no hyphen at the start or end. Accents are removed. See the naming rules.

Use the contact form. To report abuse, use the dedicated form.

You need a legally constituted company, identity established by official documents, a physical and email address, a phone number, a technical and administrative contact and two name servers (Charter, article 71). See the process.
