.swiss stands for the features of the Swiss brand, which are recognised worldwide, such as quality, precision and reliability. In addition to the existing country domains such as .ch and designations such as .org, which have already been assigned, additional generic namespaces on the Internet were made possible in 2012 by ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). The Confederation has acquired the Swiss Top Level Domain to guarantee its use beneficially for the Swiss community and economy.The Federal Office of Communications OFCOM has been entrusted with operating the .swiss domain and covering the incurred costs. As the registry, it will assign the domain names within .swiss according to fixed criteria and promote quality and density in the .swiss namespace (Ordinance on Internet Domains OID, CC 784.104.2).Since February, Kainjoo and its division Tech Engineering can reserve for you .swiss domains as an official reseller in Switzerland of the registrar Gandi.This enables Kainjoo to reinforce its capabilities for brands and Swiss brands to protect their verbal identity during creation. We offer a robust process that reduces the risks of rejects, and we simplify all situations by working through single pricing (190 CHF VAT excluded). Please check with us for special price bundles where we can create your brand with the IPI office while registering your associated domains.
