The .com gTLD is operated by Verisign and is the most widely used top-level domain worldwide. Although it derives from the word “commercial,” its usage is very broad and can be applied to any area, whether business or personal.
The .com domain can be registered by any individual, entity, or company, with no restrictions associated with its registration.
Regarding its technical characteristics, the domain must have a minimum of 3 characters and a maximum of 63 characters. Domain names may contain numbers only.
Nameserver updates are carried out immediately through the myPTisp platform, at no additional cost. However, updating the domain’s WHOIS data requires validation by the Registrant. After such an update, the domain is automatically locked for transfers for a period of 60 days.
To transfer the domain, the Auth Code (transfer code) must be provided, and the domain must be unlocked beforehand. It is recommended that the transfer process be initiated well in advance of the domain’s expiration date. Please note that the transfer process automatically includes a one-year renewal.
Regarding renewal, this type of TLD allows renewal for multiple years, which must be completed by the domain’s expiration date. After that date, the holder still has an additional 15-day period to renew the domain. After this deadline, a domain restore request will be required, which involves additional costs.
Therefore, it is recommended that the domain be renewed before its expiration date in order to avoid service interruptions or additional charges.
