A slightly longer clear name can work better

Use additions that clarify the business, such as studio or atelier, rather than random digits. Test the email address too. A name requiring constant explanation can cause years of small misunderstandings. Check for confusion with existing brands.

Record the complete price

Registration and renewal prices may differ. Distinguish standard registration from premium or existing-domain sales. The .ch three-year promotion does not apply to .com. At chname.ch, other extensions become purchasable after their prices are confirmed.

Check contact verification

Use an email address already receiving mail. The registrar may require contact verification. Keep the confirmation and check the account for status or transfer restrictions after recent registration or changes.

Your practical checklist

  • Prepare three usable names.
  • Test the email form.
  • Check registration and renewal prices.
  • Maintain access to verification mail.

A useful question

Can .com be part of a bundle?

Yes. Each extension remains a separate registration with its own price and term.
