This guide details the specifics of the .swiss domain extension, which is subject to special conditions.

Preamble

• Previously reserved for companies, registration to obtain a .swiss is now open to individuals and sole proprietorships not registered in the commercial register.
• You can now submit your registration request to increase your chances and secure your surname or brand.
• By submitting your request now, Infomaniak will immediately submit your request to the Federal Office of Communications for review.
• As for company registrations, they are not immediate, and the waiting period of several weeks is independent of Infomaniak. Your requests will be denied if they do not meet certain conditions.

Reserve your .swiss domain

Beyond a unique opportunity to reserve your surname or brand:

• Unlike the .ch which is accessible to everyone, the .swiss extension is subject to validation by the Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM).
• The .swiss certifies your presence in the Swiss market and sends a strong and credible signal to your Swiss and international partners.
• Get 1 email address with your .swiss domain for free by ordering a standard kSuite user which includes all kDrive productivity/storage applications.
• Infomaniak offers the best rate for the .swiss, including after the first-year promotion.

The complete conditions for individuals and sole proprietorships are specified during the order, however:

• You must be a natural person residing in Switzerland or a Swiss national.
• Swiss nationals living abroad can also apply for a .swiss for private, charitable, or associative purposes.
• The desired .swiss domain must contain one of the following elements related to the person submitting the registration request:
  • one of the official names or other names listed in the civil registry
  • one of the first names
  • a surname
  • a registered partnership name
  • a name received in a religious order
  • a stage name under which the person is known
  • a name related to a distinctive sign (e.g., a registered trademark) on which the applicant has rights
