Why you should SWITCH your .CH to EuroDNS before March 2015
In March 2015, the .CH registry in Switzerland (SWITCH) will end its role as registrar and give its full attention to the operation of the registry. Customers owning .CH domain names will need to find a new registrar. Trying to find a new registrar can be a daunting prospect and we'd strongly recommend beginning the process now to avoid the possible chaos of this mass migration. EuroDNS is here to help by offering our advice and services.
Transfer your .CH domains to a secure place
The .CH registry in Switzerland currently offers a twin service, that of a registry and a registrar. As a registry it maintains the .CH domain name database. Its role of registrar means it offers a registration service similar to EuroDNS but for rather less than our impressive 600+ domains.
