Manage a .SWISS domain
This guide details the peculiarities of the .swiss domain name extension, which is subject to special conditions.
Registering a .swiss Domain
Previously reserved for businesses, registration for obtaining a .swiss domain is now open to individuals and sole proprietorships not listed in the commercial register. You can now submit your registration request to increase your chances and secure your family name or brand.
By submitting your request now, Infomaniak will immediately submit your request to the Federal Office of Communications for examination.
As for registration for businesses, it is not immediate, and the waiting period of several weeks is independent of Infomaniak. Your requests will be rejected if they do not meet certain conditions.
