Switzerland stopped publishing .ch holder names and addresses in 2021. We go one step further: with Domain protection, the holder kept on file is our company.

**Quick answer — Can I register a .ch domain offshore without KYC?**

Yes. Every .ch here comes with Domain protection: DomaineGoat LLC is the holder in the registry's records. You provide one verified email, no ID, and pay in crypto. At **Isthmus Domains**, an offshore domain registrar in Panama, a .ch costs **$41.49/year** the first year and $41.49/year to renew (19 October 2026), paid in crypto with no KYC.

> **.ch is sold with Domain protection only** SWITCH no longer publishes holder data, but it still keeps a holder name and postal address on file. With our company as holder, that private copy names DomaineGoat LLC, not you. The price shown, $41.49/year, is the extension price ($12.49) plus $29 a year for Domain protection.

## Swiss rules for .ch holders, and our email-only signup

Our data shows no residency rule for .ch: holders from any country are accepted. The registry does keep the holder's name and postal address, which is more than an email. We therefore register .ch names to DomaineGoat LLC and keep your role as beneficial owner. You give us a verified email, no passport and no Swiss address. No extract from a Swiss company register is asked for either, and no Swiss phone number. The domain is managed from your account: DNS, nameservers and renewal. Payment is in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL or LTC.

## Since 2021: what a .ch lookup hides

Swiss rules changed in 2021: the holder's name and address are no longer published in the .ch lookup, as OFCOM explains. The public sees technical data and the registrar. The registry still keeps the holder data on file, under Swiss law. On our .ch names, that file lists DomaineGoat LLC. Your verified email stays with us, kept private. The page on [what WHOIS shows](https://isthmusdomains.com/guides/check-what-whois-shows/) explains how to read a lookup.

## Domain protection on .ch, step by step

When you order a .ch, the registry receives DomaineGoat LLC as holder. A transfer lock is set by default, and any transfer or DNS change must be confirmed from your account. We hold only your email. We release the data we hold only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. A person reviews each complaint first. For a .ch in your own name, transfer out with the free code to a registrar that collects the holder data.

## SWITCH and the Swiss ordinance

IANA lists SWITCH, the Swiss Education and Research Network, as the .ch manager. Swiss federal rules on internet domains govern the extension. In 2021 they were adapted to stop publishing holder data, as OFCOM describes. The registry supports DNSSEC and accented (IDN) names, useful for German, French and Italian words. Amazon's registrar guide lists one-year terms. Our data, checked on 8 October 2026, shows no residency rule for holders. As a country code, .ch sits outside ICANN's gTLD contracts. Disputes on .ch follow the registry's own dispute procedure.

## Swiss uses for .ch

| Use | Why .ch fits |
| --- | --- |
| Swiss businesses | A .ch ending signals service in Switzerland. |
| Multilingual content | IDN support covers accented German, French and Italian words. |
| Associations and clubs | Swiss groups use their national ending. |
| Brand defence | Keep the .ch next to your .com. |

## What to weigh on .ch

Swiss law applies to the registry and its data, whatever our Panamanian policy says. The holder in that data is our company, so registry notices reach DomaineGoat LLC first. Terms are one year, so keep auto-renew on and enough balance. Accented names need testing in email and browsers before use. If you ever need the holder data in your own name, the free transfer code is the route. Phishing aimed at Swiss bank customers is a strict exception and is suspended on a documented report.

## .ch questions

### Is .ch holder data public?

No, not since 2021. The Swiss rules described by OFCOM stopped the publication of holder names and addresses. The registry still keeps them on file. For a .ch bought here, that holder is DomaineGoat LLC, so your name is not in that file either.

### Do I need a Swiss address for a .ch?

Not here. The holder is our company, and our data shows no residency rule for .ch. You give one verified email and pay in crypto. You manage DNS, nameservers and renewal yourself from the client area. Registry notices go to our company as holder.

### Can I register accented .ch names?

Yes. The .ch registry supports accented (IDN) names, according to our data checked on 8 October 2026. Words with letters such as ä, é or è can be registered. Test how the name shows in email clients and browsers before printing it.

### Will you remove my .ch if a Swiss company complains?

Not on a complaint alone. We need a decision from a Panamanian court, and a Swiss judgment must be recognised in Panama first. The registry applies Swiss rules separately and keeps its own copy of the data. Phishing, malware and fraud are suspended on a documented report, whoever complains.
