Renaming Domains: What is technically possible

In short: Once registered, a domain technically cannot be renamed or corrected (this also applies to typos).

The solution for name changes:

If you want a new name for your project or have made a spelling mistake, proceed as follows:

  1. Register the new, correct domain through our portal.
  2. Redirect the old domain (if it exists) to the new address so that visitors and Google can find their way.
  3. Cancel the old domain at the end of its term if you no longer need it.
Important: Since registration fees are paid immediately to the central registries, there are no refunds for erroneously registered names. Therefore, please double-check the spelling!
