The most recognised name on the internet

With more than 350 million registered .com domain names, .com is the undisputed standard for international websites. No matter where your business is based, visitors from all over the world recognise .com as the hallmark of a professional online presence.

For businesses that operate internationally or want to grow, .com is the first choice. E-commerce companies, SaaS platforms and international brands almost always pick .com as their primary extension, complemented by a local extension such as .nl for the Dutch market.

Please note: the transfer time for a .com is 5–7 days. This is a Verisign requirement and applies to every registrar worldwide. If you register a new .com, it is active right away.

.com domain name — frequently asked questions

How soon is a .com domain name active after registration?
A new .com registration is active right away, within a few minutes. Note: transferring an existing .com takes 5–7 days — this is a Verisign requirement and applies to every registrar.
Who can register a .com domain name?
Anyone — there are no restrictions on .com. Individuals, companies and organisations from any country can register a .com without special conditions.
What is the difference between .com and .nl for a Dutch business?
.nl ranks better in Dutch Google search results and conveys local recognition. .com is the choice if you also operate internationally or want to reach an international audience. Many businesses combine both: .nl as the main domain and .com as a redirect, or the other way around.
How long does it take to transfer a .com domain name?
Transferring a .com takes 5–7 days. You request a transfer code (EPP/authorisation code) from your current registrar. Once you enter it the transfer process starts — Verisign requires a 5-day waiting period.
Can I register my .com domain name privately?
Yes. With our privacy protection (€4.99/year) your contact details are not visible in the public WHOIS database. You remain the official holder of the domain name.
