.hu Domain transfer (change of registrar)

From March 20, 2025, domain transfer can only be initiated by entering the Authentication (AUTH) code of the domain name.
The AUTH code is sent by the current registrar to the domain user's email address (which was provided as a primary factor).
With the AUTH code, the transfer can be initiated in the SIlicium.eu admin interface.

During the process, we request the domain user's data, including the type and serial number of the identification document.
It is important that the data is current, for which the applicant assumes responsibility.
It is not a problem if the data differs from the data provided with the previous registrar.

After that, the domain user and administrative contact person will be the same.
This can be changed later in a separate step.

The transfer automatically extends the domain name's original expiration date by 1 year.
After the process is successful, a 30-day transfer + domain trade lock will be placed on the domain name.

 

.hu Domain trade (change of ownership)

There are two possible ways.
1.) The New Owner initiates the request on the Silicium.eu administration interface, after which the old owner approves the trade by the factor identification (e-mail and optionally phone number).
2.) The Old Owner hands over the AUTH code to the New Owner, who becomes the legal user of the domain name by entering this AUTH code on the Silicium admin interface.


After the successful completion of the process, a 30-day trade + registrar change restriction is placed on the domain name.

 

How long does the domain registration process take?

Most domains can be registered and used immediately after ordering, e.g. .com / .eu / .net / .info / .org / .at / .de / .cz etc.… These will be registered within 1 minute after the credit card payment.

The .hu domain name registration process is special.
The technical condition of .hu domain name registration is the existence of faultless DNSs, for which we provide name servers, but it is also possible for the applicant to specify name servers.
The next phase is the "decision", which is the task of the Internet Service Providers Council (ISZT). This usually happens within 24 hours.
Thereafter, the domain name will be given the status of “Registered Conditional Use” for 8 days, after which it will be permanently registered.

During the "Registered Conditional Use" period, the domain name may be used in full.
Thus, from the start of registration to technical use, it usually takes approx. 1 day passes

8 days is a transitional period during which a complaint can be made against the domain delegation.

 

Name server (or DNS) service, DNS exchange, Record modification

At least two name servers are required for each domain name.
Our company provides name servers for all domain names free of charge, unless the user of the domain specifies otherwise.

Our default DNS servers are:
NS1: dns1.silicium.eu
NS2: dns2.silicium.eu

DNS servers can be specified during registration, while their exchange or modification (editing of A, MX, TXT, CNAME, etc. records) can be done in the DomainAdmin menu after logging in, but it can also be requested through our ticket system.

 

Expiration, quarantine and deletion of domain names. Renewal and reactivation.

The registration period of domain names is usually 1 year, but it is also possible to register/renew them for several years. The registration period starts from the date of domain delegation.
Prior to expiration, an expiration notice will be sent several times to the email address provided by the customer for this purpose.
Renewal is easy to do in our administration interface. In case of credit card payment, the renewal will take place immediately. We will send you an email confirmation of the successful renewal.
If the domain name is not renewed by its expiration date, it will be quarantined. The length of the quarantine period depends on the tld.
Reactivation from quarantine is subject to a fee, its fee also depends on the tld.

If the quarantine period has also expired, the domain name will enter the deletion phase. The domain name can be reactivated in this state, but only at a very high cost. The fee is especially high for com / net / org / info and some country-specific tlds. .
After the domain name deletion phase expires, the domain name will be available again.
