Why is my .ECO domain name on serverHold?
If you care about the planet, a .ECO domain name is a great way to show it. The .ECO domains are available for long-standing projects as well as new ideas. Both legal entities and individuals can register such a domain.
Immediately after registering a .ECO domain, you may notice the status serverHold. To activate the domain, you must complete your ECO profile.
How to create a .ECO profile and remove serverHold?
After registering a .ECO domain, you need to set up a profile before using your domain:
- Look for an activation email from activate@profiles.eco with the subject "Activate [yourdomain].eco". This email will be sent to the address you used for registration, or to your privacy email if domain privacy is enabled.
- Follow the unique link in the email to configure your .ECO profile.
Pick up a domain name you always dreamed of
If you cannot find the email, you can request it again using the Resend activation email tool. Enter the .ECO domain name you want to activate, and the activation email will be sent to the associated email address.
What happens if I don’t remove serverHold?
You won’t be able to:
- access your .ECO domain on the Internet,
- configure it for your website, email, or other services,
- redirect it to any other website you own or manage.
Applying serverHold status does not affect your ability to renew or transfer the domain.
