Domain Registry Questions
Is a registry the same as a registrar?
No. The registry operates an extension and maintains its central registration database. A registrar is the provider you use to register and manage a particular name.
KeNIC manages .ke. If you register a Kenyan domain with us, we handle your account, renewal orders and support.
How can I find the registry for a domain extension?
- Search the extension in the IANA directory.
- Open the delegation record to find the registry manager and its WHOIS or RDAP service.
- If you need the registrar for one specific domain, enter that full name in our registration lookup.
Should I contact the registry to renew my domain?
For a domain you hold with us, check the renewal date and payment status in your account. Contact our support team if you need help completing the renewal.
KeNIC directs .ke registrations through accredited registrars. Manage your renewal in your domain account.
Does a registry record show whether a name is available to register?
No. A registry may reserve or restrict a name even when a public lookup returns no record. Use our domain search to check the exact name and registration price.
