National Names

Renewal Policy
A .IO domain can be renewed at any time before it expires.
Validity period after transfer

Registry
The .IO domain zone is operated by Internet Computer Bureau Limited.
Transfer protection
A .IO domain can be locked against unauthorized transfers to another registrar.
Open Domain Zone
The .IO domain zone is open for registration to all and does not require registration of a trademark or legal entity. Thus, a .IO domain name is ideal for everyone, including small companies and startups.
IDN support
The .IO domain zone supports internationalized domain names (IDN). These domain names often include an extended set of characters that were not originally supported by the basic Domain Name Standards. IDN support provides the ability to register domain names in a variety of languages, the list of which is defined for each specific domain zone. In DNS, internationalized domain names are represented in a special encoding (Punycode). Regery automatically converts domain names into the required format for easy search and product management.
National Domain Zone for Everyone
The IO domain zone is a gccTLD zone. This means that it is a national domain zone (ccTLD such as .RU, .SU, .EU), which is open to all (gTLD such as .COM). Such domain zones include the Tuvalu .TV domain zone, which is used for television, and the Montenegro .ME domain zone, which is often used by bloggers.
Territorial Domain Zone
IO is a national domain zone (ccTLD). These domain zones are reserved for countries, islands or states. They often consist of two characters, such as .UA, .US, .EU, .UK, .DE. There are also gccTLDs: on the one hand, such a domain zone refers to a country, and on the other hand, it is suitable not only for that country. For example, the Colombian domain zone .CO is often used by various companies around the world.

Register a .IO domain
The .io zone is the country-code domain of the British Indian Ocean Territory and is popular with users, especially technology companies and startups. Registering a .io domain is not too difficult, but you need to know some specifics. Details about them are given below.
Registration Methods
Both legal entities and individuals can register an io domain, and there is no residency requirement.
The .io domain can be purchased and registered with the help of Regery, which provides services for the registration of such domain names. All you need to do is register the domain and pay for it. No special documents are required; if you have any questions, you can contact our support team.
Before you register a domain name, it is always worth checking whether the domain name that you want to register is free. This check is quick and saves you from wasting time when registering a domain.
Limitations
When registering such a domain name, it is worth remembering some restrictions:
- domain names can be registered only in Latin characters; Cyrillic is not supported;
- the length of the name can be from 3 to 63 characters;
- a hyphen is allowed, but a domain name cannot start or end with it; double hyphens and special characters are also forbidden;
- the name must not be offensive;
- second-level domain names cannot be used for the third level;
- the domain may be used for a variety of purposes that do not violate the laws of the country from which the registration originates and the laws of Britain;
- registration is allowed for 1-5 years;
- by registering a domain name, the registrant accepts the terms of the registrar that provides the registration.
Cost
The price of .io domain registration will depend mainly on the number of years. If the domain is registered for one year, then each subsequent year it can be renewed, and the cost may change slightly. Promotions and discounts are also often available. The maximum period you can pay for the domain in advance is five years.
