Domains Questions

No. Since 14 September 2022, .com.tr, .net.tr, and .org.tr are registered on a first-come, first-served basis, without documents. Some extensions, such as .gov.tr and .edu.tr, still require documents.

RDAP is the newer lookup protocol that replaces WHOIS. It returns results in a standard format, over an encrypted connection. ICANN has removed the WHOIS requirement for most generic extensions. The official source is now RDAP (WHOIS can still be seen on some extensions, such as .com). .tr domains use TRABIS.

It moves the registration of your domain from one company to another. Site files are not moved automatically. If the nameservers do not change, the site and email do not go down.

The name you type in the browser is turned into a server IP by looking up the A/AAAA records on the nameservers. The registry keeps which nameservers are valid. Site and email routing live in the DNS records.

Unlock the domain, get the EPP/authorization code, place a transfer order at MUVCloud, and complete the confirmation email. A .tr domain also needs an authorization code.

1. Turn off the domain lock (Registrar Lock) at the current registrar.
2. Get the EPP / authorization (transfer) code.
3. Enter the domain and code on the MUVCloud transfer page and complete the order.
4. Click the confirmation link in the registration email.
5. Do not change nameservers until the transfer finishes.

The code is in the panel of the company where the domain is registered now (usually Domains, then Manage, then EPP / Auth Code). If it is at MUVCloud, request it from the client area or from support. If the code does not appear, check that the lock is off and that a 60-day restriction is not in place.

Get the authorization code from your current registrar and place a transfer order at MUVCloud. The request is sent through TRABIS. If the registrar does not reply within 24 hours, the request is treated as accepted. The transfer does not change the allocation period. The registrar cannot charge for this step and cannot refuse the code because of a debt.

For generic extensions it usually takes a few days, and about a week at the latest, depending on the old company’s approval. For .tr, the current registrar must reply within 24 hours. If there is no reply, the request is treated as accepted.

No. As long as the nameservers and DNS records do not change, the site and email keep working. Do not change NS until the transfer finishes. You may see a short inconsistency while changes propagate.

For generic extensions and for .tr, there is usually a 60-day transfer lock after the first registration or the last transfer. You cannot start a move before that period ends. Domains on hold (clientHold / serverHold) cannot be transferred either.

If very little time is left, a renewal may be required first. Names that have expired, or that are in the redemption period, usually cannot be transferred. Start the transfer before the expiry date.

Common causes: a wrong EPP code, the lock still on, a 60-day restriction, a missed confirmation email, or a rejection by the old company. After you fix it, you can try again. You can request a refund for a transfer that does not complete.

• Renew the EPP / authorization code
• Turn off Registrar Lock
• Check the 60-day lock and Hold status
• Complete the confirmation email (including spam)

Unlock it in the client area, get the EPP/authorization code, and start the transfer at the new company. For .tr, the application also uses an authorization code. Do not change nameservers unnecessarily until the new company finishes the process.

Yes. Each domain needs its own EPP/authorization code. You can place more than one transfer order from the cart. For .tr, you can also apply for more than one name. For a bulk move, you can ask support for help.

WHOIS is a lookup system that shows domain registration details. You can see registration and expiry dates, the registrar, contact details (often hidden), and nameserver (NS) addresses. DNS records such as A, MX, and TXT are not in WHOIS. Those are checked with a DNS query.

To protect personal data, registrars hide the name, address, phone, and email on a public lookup and write REDACTED instead. This follows ICANN’s registration-data policy. To reach the owner, use the registrar’s contact path or, with a legal reason, an ICANN RDRS request.

A domain registration is written to the relevant registration-data systems. Your lookup returns the result from those records (WHOIS or RDAP). The lookup is free. DNS records such as A and MX need a separate DNS tool.

Yes. WHOIS privacy is free on domain registration and transfer at MUVCloud. Personal details are masked on a public lookup. TRABIS rules apply to .tr registrations. What privacy covers can vary by extension.

If the domain is at MUVCloud, update the contact details in the client area under My Domains, then Manage. The old result can still appear until the change propagates. If you cannot find it in the panel, open a support ticket.

Look at the expiry date (Expiry / Registry Expiry) in WHOIS/RDAP. After the term ends there is usually a short renewal window, then redemptionPeriod and pendingDelete. Those codes can appear on the status line. The exact number of days varies by extension. For a definite date, also ask the registrar.

.tr registrations are managed through TRABIS. Personal-data and publication rules differ from generic extensions. A lookup may show registration status, nameservers, and limited contact fields. Not every field is public.

First try the registrar contact shown in the result, or the anonymous contact form. If you have a legal reason, you can request data through ICANN’s RDRS (Registration Data Request Service). That path is for trademark and dispute processes. It is not a standard support channel.

A domain is your site’s address on the internet (for example example.com). A visitor types that name. DNS turns the name into your server’s IP address. Your email address is tied to the same domain.

Type the name you want in the search box, add an available extension to the cart, and complete the payment. With a card payment, registration is usually immediate. With a wire/EFT, it finishes after confirmation. After registration, check the verification email.

.com is the best-known extension worldwide. .com.tr suits a Turkey-focused business and trust. Since 2022 you can register it without documents. Short .tr names can also be registered under TRABIS rules. Choose by brand and audience. Registering more than one extension is common for an important brand.

The extension is the part of the domain after the dot (.com, .net, .com.tr, .io, and so on). Each extension can have different registration rules, terms, and prices.

With a card payment, most generic extensions are registered within minutes. With a wire/EFT, it finishes once the receipt is processed. For .tr extensions, the TRABIS process is usually fast as well. After you set DNS or nameservers, the site still needs time to propagate before it is visible.

For most generic extensions you can choose from 1 to 10 years. For .tr extensions (.com.tr and similar), the term is usually from 1 to 5 years. The options shown in the cart for that extension are the ones that apply. A longer registration reduces the chance of forgetting a renewal.

For .tr domains, use is suspended for 2 months after the term ends. You can renew during that time. If it is not renewed, the domain opens for registration again (there may be a short application restriction). For generic extensions such as .com, the site and email usually stop when the term ends. A short renewal window and a paid redemption period can follow. Keep auto-renew on.

If the domain is at MUVCloud, manage nameservers or DNS records (A, MX, TXT, and so on) from the client area. If it is at another company, change the NS records in that company’s panel to the addresses MUVCloud gives you. Propagation can take from a few minutes to 48 hours. During that time you may still see the old result now and then.

Under ICANN rules, for generic extensions, if you do not verify the registration contact email within the required time, the domain may be suspended (the site will not open). Check the inbox and spam. If the mail did not arrive, ask for it to be sent again from the panel or from support.

Try a close spelling or a different extension (.com.tr, .net, .io). Check the expiry date with WHOIS/RDAP. It may become available again when the term ends. If you have a trademark right, UDRP, or the TRABIS dispute path for .tr, may apply. That is a legal process, not a standard registration.

Under the TRABIS communiqué, city names, restricted words such as “bank” and “finance,” and some special names cannot be registered freely. Extensions such as .gov.tr, .edu.tr, and .av.tr require documents. A name that does not look available, or that is rejected, may be on the restricted list or under a document rule.

Yes. On extensions that support it, IDN registrations that include ç, ğ, ı, ö, ş, and ü are possible. Technically they are stored in punycode (xn--). For older systems and email compatibility, also register the ASCII (.com) equivalent.

It is a label added in front of the main domain (for example blog.example.com or shop.example.com). It does not need a separate paid registration. It is pointed with an A or CNAME record in DNS. You can use it within the site allowance of your hosting plan.

International extension prices depend on the registry operator and the exchange rate. They are listed in USD on the site, and payment options in Turkish lira are offered. The first-year campaign price and the later renewal price can differ. The current amount on the cart and the renewal screen is the one that applies.

Yes. The transfer starts with an EPP/authorization code. For .com and .net, a transfer usually includes a one-year extension. For .tr, the term does not change. The step-by-step guide is on the transfer page.

For generic extensions such as .com and .net, the transfer fee covers a one-year renewal. The expiry date moves forward by one year (for example, a name with 6 months left becomes 18 months). For .tr extensions, the transfer does not change the allocation period. The fee is a processing charge.

For generic extensions it usually takes a few days. As long as the nameservers do not change, the site and email keep working. The current answers are also in the separate questions.

Yes. WHOIS privacy masks personal details on a public lookup. Privacy is free at MUVCloud.

Ownership and contact details are used for trust, technical contact, and renewal.

It is your brand’s address and the identity of your company email. A domain that is easy to remember, with the right extension, supports trust and reach.

After an availability check, adding it to the cart, and payment, the domain is registered in your name. Then come nameserver/DNS settings and, for generic extensions, email verification.

When the term ends, site and email access stop. Someone else can register it, or a redemption fee can apply. Keep auto-renew on, and renew before the expiry date.
