What happens when a .co domain expires?
After expiry it stops working, and you can still renew it at the normal price for 43 days; then it can be restored for 13 days, for the renewal plus a restore fee. After that, the .co name is deleted and anyone can register it. We email the owner 30 and 7 days before expiry, and the domain can be renewed from the dashboard or by an agent at any time before. Automatic renewal is off by default; once you turn it on for a domain, we charge your saved card 7 days before expiry.
Can I transfer a .co domain to another registrar?
Yes. Get its transfer code from the dashboard or with the get_auth_code tool, and give it to the new registrar. When an agent asks for the code, the owner confirms it from an email and sees the code on that page; the agent never gets it. Where the registry has a transfer lock, unlock the domain first.
How are disputes over a .co name settled?
Disputes go through the UDRP at WIPO.
