Buy .com.fj Domain Name

No. The registry sorts its second-level labels into two classes and .com.fj sits in the unrestricted one, meaning no condition is placed on who the applicant is. You do not need a company incorporated in Fiji, an address in the country, or a local agent or trustee. No trade register extract, trademark certificate or comparable paperwork is requested at registration either. The restricted class contains only four labels — the spaces set aside for academia, government, the military and schools — and .com.fj is not among them. In practice the zone holds names belonging to internationally based companies, renewed on a regular basis.

No, registration in Fiji runs at the third level. Directly beneath the country extension there are only eleven labels at the second level, every one of them reserved by the registry and held in its own name rather than offered to customers. A sweep carried out on 17 August 2026 found none of Fiji's best-known institutions, cities or companies registered at that level. So if you want a commercial name, the third level under com.fj is the only route, and there is no way to additionally secure a shorter variant of your brand.

A university. The root zone manager for Fiji's country extension is The University of the South Pacific (USP); operations sit with the university's IT Services department on the Laucala Bay campus in Suva, and the service runs under the name «FJ Domain Registry Services». USP does not belong to a single country: it is a regional university jointly owned by a group of Pacific island states, with its main campus in Fiji. The extension entered the root zone on 3 June 1992. The same institution also appears as the registrar in public lookups.

No. The registry does not publish the holder's name, address, telephone number or email. The classic whois response carries no holder fields at all: what you see is the domain name, the creation, expiry and update dates, the status codes, the name servers and the registrar's details. The registry's RDAP service does return a holder record, but the name is masked as «REDACTED FOR PRIVACY». The practical effect is that you do not need to buy a separate privacy service for .com.fj, because your personal data is not published in the first place. Look up your own record on the whois search page.

Transfers are possible, but check the lock status of the name first. Measurement showed some registrations in this zone sitting at «active» while others carried a clientTransferProhibited lock; that lock technically blocks a change of registrar and must be lifted by the current provider before the transfer starts. The lock is not a blanket registry prohibition — it is applied per name, and unlocked names exist in the same zone. Once it is removed the process follows the standard flow. Start on the domain transfer page, and write to us via contact if you get stuck.

Through the international UDRP procedure. Fiji has not built a bespoke local arbitration route; instead the registry has adopted the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, and that policy is incorporated into the registration agreement by reference. Complaints go to WIPO's domain name dispute resolution service, the procedure follows WIPO's UDRP rules and supplemental rules, and the resulting decision is implemented directly by the registry. If a .com.fj name identical or confusingly similar to your trademark has been registered in bad faith, you can use this route without first going to a court in Fiji.

No. The registry's rule limits names to ASCII characters: a .com.fj name may use only letters, numbers and hyphens. That rules out accented Latin letters as well as Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic and every other script, so a brand written with such characters has to be rendered in its ASCII form. The same rule forbids a name from beginning or ending with a hyphen. Measurement backed this up: the registry's lookup system pushed a name with a leading hyphen into a distinct error class rather than simply reporting it as unregistered. Deciding on the ASCII spelling before you search saves time.

At zone level, yes. Fiji's extension is signed with DNSSEC in the root: a DS record is published there and the validation chain resolves correctly. The signature uses the Ed25519 algorithm, so the zone is protected with a current cryptographic choice. Because com.fj is not delegated as a separate zone and is served straight from Fiji's own zone file, .com.fj names sit under that same signature. Whether you can additionally upload a DS record for your own name depends on the registry's registration agreement; ask us through the contact page for that detail.
