Your .ch domain
directly with SWITCH
For projects in Switzerland or alongside .de and .at, managed in the same account:
Directly with SWITCH
We are accredited with SWITCH, the registry for .ch and .li, and register without a middleman. More under accreditations.
Free transfer
Bring your .ch domains to us with the AuthCode from your current provider. The transfer costs nothing and the remaining term is kept.
Automatic DNSSEC
If your .ch domain uses our nameservers, we sign the zone with DNSSEC and register the key with SWITCH. There is nothing for you to set up.
Bulk lists
Check and register many .ch domains at once, also mixed with .de, .at or .eu in one order.
.ch catcher
The .ch catcher for deleted .ch domains is expected to launch on 13 November 2026. Register your interest now.

Four steps
to your own domain
The order guides you through registration and transfer, whether it is one domain or a hundred.
Enter the names you want, one per line. For a transfer, add the AuthCode from your current provider to each domain.
Pick an existing holder or create a new one. It applies to all domains in the order.
Decide where the domains point: landing page, sale page, your own DNS records, external nameservers or a redirect.
Check prices and terms in the summary and complete the order. After that, all domains are in your portfolio.
Enter domains
Enter the names you want, one per line. For a transfer, add the AuthCode from your current provider to each domain.

Frequently asked questions
about the .ch domain
What you should know before registering or transferring.
The registry for .ch and .li is SWITCH in Zurich. ELITEDOMAINS is accredited there and registers your .ch domains directly.
Nothing. All you need is the AuthCode from your current provider. The remaining term of your domain is kept with the transfer.
No. If your .ch domain uses our nameservers, we sign the zone automatically and register the key with SWITCH.
We bill domains with extensions other than .de immediately by instant payment. So you need a stored payment method to place an order.
