More information about .TM domain transfers.
The domains, once the transfer ends, extend their expiration date by one year.
Renewals
Renewal of .TM domains works differently from other extensions.
The domain renewal must be requested at least 2 days before its expiration date.
If the renewal request is made after that date, successful renewal is not guaranteed.
Cancellations
It's possible to request the cancellation of a .TM domain; you must do so via ticket (support area). Please note that canceling a domain does not entitle you to a refund of the amount paid for it.
DNS modifications
DNS changes are immediate, but please note that they must propagate through the network. This process usually takes between 6 and 12 hours to complete; until then, the domain will keep pointing to the previous DNS servers.
DNSSEC
We allow the usage of DNSSEC on .tm domains. Your domain can take advantage of this additional security layer that DNS servers that are compatible with this technology can provide.
More information is available at: DNSSEC: What is it and how does it work.
Domain owner change
.TM domains allow automatic ownership changes, so you can change this information from your customer area.
