Starting Monday 8th of February, we will migrate the name servers used for domains using our DNS templates to a new environment. As a part of this migration, the hostnames and ip addresses of these name servers will be changed. For domains using our DNS templates a change at the concerning registry will be made by us. You will not have to do anything. We anticipate on a one-week timeframe for this change.

This migration will not affect you or your clients in any way. The domains will be online and all of our interfaces will be online. It is however possible that you will receive a notification of the concerning registry about the change of name servers.

During and after the migration, the current name servers will be available for DNS requests. We will closely monitor the name servers and keep them online as long as DNS requests are sent. Only after no DNS requests are sent to the old name servers, we will retire them.

The current name servers are:

ns1.12register.com 85.158.203.80
ns2.12register.com 62.58.71.181

The new name servers will be:

ns1.yoursrs.com 93.94.226.68
ns2.yoursrs.com 93.89.80.133

• CNNIC, the official registry for .CN, announced that all oversea registrars will no longer be allowed to register .CN domains starting January 6, 2010.
  
  The registration stop is planned to be temporarily. According to the Chinese registry, difficulties in handling the comprehensive new application material are the reason for this drastic development. The new application material is required since the middle of December 2009 when CNNIC suddenly changed the registration policies.
  
  CNNIC has not specified a date at which the exclusion of oversea registrars from .CN registrations will be removed again. The registry has announced to further explore methodologies on how to verify the registration information with their oversea partners. As soon as a new mechanism is established, CNNIC will re-open the registration.
  
  We are therefore not able to accept and/or process new .CN applications. Existing .CN domains in our system can be renewed or deleted.
  
  We hope to be able to offer you .CN domains again soon.
  
•  The .JOBS domain is discontinued as well, because of the lack of demand for this domain and the changes at the registry. Existing .JOBS domains in our system can be renewed or deleted.
  
  

 At the last day of 2009 Realtime Register reached another milestone, by passing the 300.000 active domain names.

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank all our valued customers for their business and wish you all a very successful new year, with lots of new domain names.

Starting 10th of December 2009, companies and private persons based in the European Union will be able to register .eu Internationalised Domain Names (IDNs).

IDNs are domain names that contain non-ASCII characters. These characters include, for example, the Swedish å, the German ü, the Romanian ș and characters from the Bulgarian and Greek alphabets as a whole.

IDNs are particularly important for .eu as the European Union has 27 Member States and 23 official languages. Many of these languages have non-ASCII characters in their alphabets.


Realtime register offers, right from the start, the possibility to register IDN names to it’s resellers. The costs of these domain names are the same as the standaard.eu domain names.

As of today, 23rd of October 2009, Denic has changed its domain registration requirements.

From this day on, 1 and 2 character .DE domain registrations are allowed (for example. a.de ab.de), as well as numeric .DE domain registrations (for example 123.de).

Until the 27th of October 2009, access to the registration platform for these 'new' domain names is very limited. Realtime Register will submit your request on a first-come-first-served basis. We will collect all requests and submit them to Denic with a 15 second interval. You will therefore not receive a direct answer to your request, the status of your domain will be updated only after we have received response from Denic.
