Registering a .desi
Search for the name you want, add it to your cart, and check out. Once payment is confirmed, your .desi is registered with the registry — usually within minutes — and appears in your dashboard with managed DNS, free WHOIS privacy, and renewal reminders ready to go.
Transferring a .desi
Already own a .desi elsewhere? Unlock it at your current registrar, grab the authorization (EPP) code, and start the transfer with Orbit. Your remaining registration time comes with you, and most transfers add another year to keep you covered.
