About .rio-domain name
The local government of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil has embraced the .rio extension. Rio de Janeiro is no longer just the city of carnival, beaches, and football, but is rapidly growing in social, economic, and technological areas.
Anyone in Rio de Janeiro can register a .rio domain and automatically gain a digital identity. Visitors to a .rio domain know it's owned by someone from Rio de Janeiro, as the registry verifies this before the domain is added to the zone file. Along with the rules for content and use of a .rio domain, this ensures a safe, reliable, and high-quality zone!
Administrator
The .rio domain extension is managed by the local government of Rio de Janeiro. Registrants must have an address in Rio de Janeiro, and there are strict content restrictions for the website. A change of ownership is not allowed, and there are strict requirements for the nameservers. A tax number (CNPJ or CPF) is required; the name or business name must match the registered name or business name for this tax number.

When you've just ordered a domain name or hosting, you naturally want to get started right away. A domain name is registered immediately after your order. In most cases your domain name is actually active within a few hours. For some extensions it can take a little longer, 24 to 48 hours.
Read the full articleWhat is a premium domain name?
A premium domain name is a domain name that is worth considerably more than a non-generic domain name. That's why it's called Premium. Premium domain names come in two variants:
- Domain names from older extensions with a very good generic name, such as auto.nl or candy.com, that have been registered for many years. Because these domain names have already built up a lot of 'value' and are very generic, they're worth much more money in a sale than a non-generic domain name.
- New gTLD domain names, involving a very generic name or company name that isn't registered yet but is expected to gain a lot of value. The registration price of these domain names can run up to several thousand euros. Examples of such premium domain names are gold.watch or healthy.club.
