No. The registrant agreement does not restrict holders to companies incorporated in Solomon Islands, and it asks for no residency, no local contact and no documents. The only qualification is being an identifiable individual over eighteen or a legally recognised organisation. Sitting under the «com» label triggers no separate trade-register requirement either: a measurement on 15 August 2026 found private individuals holding names in this namespace in their own name. Your obligation is to keep the details truthful and current, since inaccurate data counts as grounds for suspension.

Legally there is none: both are namespaces of the same registry under the same agreement and the same dispute procedure, and the rulebook attaches no non-profit condition to the «org» label. The difference lies in actual use and in size. On 15 August 2026 certificate transparency logs held 144 direct names under .com.sb and 20 under .org.sb. Composition separates them as well: .com.sb carries banks, utilities and newspapers, while .org.sb is dominated by non-profit bodies such as the national provident fund, the Olympic committee and church organisations.

Yes, and it works at both the zone and the holder level. In the measurement of 15 August 2026 the .sb zone carried a DS record in the root zone, so the zone itself is signed. The holder level was tested separately and came back positive: the WHOIS responses for a.com.sb, b.com.sb and x.com.sb return a signed-delegation value in the DNSSEC field. The registry therefore accepts DS records in its own system, and this works at the third level too. Most sampled names appear unsigned, so the capability exists but is not widely used.

Because that date is not the day the name was set up but the day the records were migrated in bulk into the current registry system. In the measurement of 15 August 2026 access, agneslodge, bsp, cbsi, visitsolomons and many other names all carry a single date, 24 October 2007. The zone itself is far older: .sb was entered in the root zone on 19 April 1994. So in this namespace the creation date you see in WHOIS may reflect the migration rather than the real age of the name. The oldest records with distinct dates come from November 2007.

The name is pulled from the zone on its expiry date and enters a recovery stage. On a live record measured on 15 August 2026 the chain ran as follows: expiry on 7 August, the status moved into redemption four days later, redemption ended 32 days after expiry, and the name's purge date fell 39 days after expiry. Late renewal is possible, but your site and mail stay down for the whole of that window. Choosing a longer term thins out the renewal calendar and reduces that exposure.

Transfers are possible and run the standard way. The registry keeps the registrar lock on by default to block unauthorised moves; in the measurement of 15 August 2026 most sampled names showed that lock engaged. The order of operations is therefore: ask your current provider to release the lock and issue the authorisation code, then start the transfer at the gaining provider. The fact that the name pool is spread across more than seventeen distinct registrars shows the process works in practice. Start it from the domain transfer page.
