What are Icelandic .IS domains - characteristics
Icelandic domains .IS are the main and popular internet name extensions in the country of Iceland. The .IS domain is the national domain, which originated from the ISO code (IS, Iceland). The cost of registering one .IS domain name for one year is 37 £, plus any tax. Registration of .IS domains is very easy and usually takes below 24h. Generally, there are no additional requirements imposed by the .IS name registry ISNIC on applicants wishing to register their domains in the .IS extension. Registered names in the .IS extension must be between 1 and 63 characters long and may not contain national characters (IDN). Unfortunately, usually all names in the .IS extension that have less than 4 characters are already taken or blocked by the name registry. The maximum registration period for a .IS domain at Intername is 10 years. The applicant for a .IS domain name receives SPAM protection for his or her email address from us, and basic GDPR/UE protection. Transferring .IS domains is moderately complicated - it is a manual process, involving changing the domain provider entry in the name registry. Transferring a .IS domain will add 1 year to the current domain validity date. The transfer of a .IS domain costs the same as its annual renewal, that is 61 £. By registering a .IS domain with Intername, you will be able to use our automatic domain renewal system or manually renew your domains from the domain management panel. You will be reminded of your upcoming domain renewal date by email and, in selected countries, also via SMS.
All Icelandic domains .IS are registered in the ISNIC registry
