 Who
manages international (country-specific) domain names?
International, or country-specific domain names, such as yourdomain.co.uk,
yourdomain.de,
etc., are managed by the applicable country's NIC (Network
Information Center). Please contact your country's NIC
for details of the registration process.
Can FastVirtual
host international domain names?
FastVirtual can host most international domain names, subject to
each country's restrictions. There are a few exceptions, so please
contact your NIC (Network Information Center) to ensure you are
eligible to register your chosen domain name, and that this can be
hosted by a provider outside of your own country.
Can
FastVirtual register international domain names?
No. Many countries have specific requirements and procedures, so customers
need to contact their applicable NIC (Network Information Center)
directly to register their chosen domain.
How
do I contact my country's NIC (Network Information Center)?
Each country has a NIC (Network Information Center) that is
responsible for that country's TLDs (Top Level Domains). To register
country-specific domain names, you need to contact your country's
NIC. A list of the various NICs around the world is available here:

How
do I register a new international domain name, then host it with
FastVirtual?
To register a new country-specific domain name and host this with
FastVirtual simply follow these steps:
- Contact your country's NIC (Network Information Center) to
ensure you are eligible to register your chosen domain name, and
confirm that this can be hosted outside of your country.
- Create your FastVirtual account. Log in to your control panel
and add your chosen hosting plan, specifying your international domain
name.
- Contact your nation's NIC to register the domain name, and provide
details of our name servers.
If you already own the domain name,
simply ask your country's NIC to update your DNS entry to point to our
name servers.
