About .ING domains

All .ING domains have the same requirements, restrictions, and supported features, such as registrations and renewals, transfers, and DNS.

Note: The .ING extension is a secure namespace and requires an SSL certificate to enable HTTPS on websites using a .ING domain. A Standard SSL certificate credit is including with any .ING registration to be used exclusively with your .ING domain.

Registrations and renewals

Anyone can register .ING domains on a first-come, first-served basis.

New registrations
