Welcome

We hope you and your loved ones are together, safe and healthy amid these unusual and uncertain times. We're welcoming April with new promos, including a volume discount promo you won't want to miss!

Changes to TLS Support

To ensure the most secure technology is in place for our customers, we will end support for TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 on May 1, 2020. From that date forward, we will solely support TLS 1.2 for EPP and API connections. TLS 1.2 testing is now available for your connection to our system. This change is to match best practices for secure internet traffic, an update we expect to see rolled out industry-wide by mid-2020.

If you require any support with this change or have questions, please contact us at [email protected]

.NGO and .ONG Changes to Registration Process

 

On January 1, 2020, PIR implemented changes to the registration process for .NGO and .ONG which allows registrants to complete the registration process using self-certification. Starting today, you can expect the following:

Please note that it is not the responsibility of the registrar to store the self-certification information. It is the registrant's responsibility to determine whether the domain name bundle registration infringes or violates someone else's rights. It is also the registrant's responsibility to determine whether the domain name bundle registration complies with the .NGO/.ONG registration policies.

PIR conducts random audits of .NGO/.ONG domain bundle registrations and reserves the right to cancel, transfer or modify a domain name in accordance with their policies.

You can learn more about this here.
