Registering a .nyc
Search for the name you want, add it to your cart, and check out. Once payment is confirmed, your .nyc 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 .nyc
Already own a .nyc 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.
