Question
Anyone can register a .com: an individual, a company or an association, in any country. Verisign, the registry, does not sell names directly: you book them through an ICANN-accredited registrar or one of its resellers, such as Hosterwise.
A .com name uses the letters A to Z, digits and hyphens. Names with hyphens in the 3rd and 4th positions are reserved for internationalised names, every single-character name is reserved, and two-character names are initially reserved too.
Question
Verisign does not collect .com registrant details: its WHOIS and RDAP only show the registrar, dates and name servers. Registrant data is held by the registrar, which usually hides it for individuals since the GDPR.
Question
A .com transfer follows ICANN’s Transfer Policy: you need the domain’s authorisation code (AuthInfo). The current registrar may refuse a transfer within 60 days of creation or of a previous transfer. A completed transfer adds one year to the expiry date, up to a 10-year maximum.
.com remains the benchmark for international business, a brand aimed at several countries or an online product. It is often the first extension people type: registering your brand’s .com, even with a national extension as your main site, keeps it away from anyone else.
A neutral name understood everywhere, to sell or publish in several countries.
Register the .com alongside your national extension.
Apps, SaaS, media: .com is still the extension people expect.

Prices exclude VAT, calculated at checkout based on your country.
Anyone, with no country or status requirement. .com is an open generic extension: you just go through a registrar or a reseller such as Hosterwise.
A .com costs 14,99 € for the first year, then renews automatically every year at your subscription rate. Transferring an existing .com costs 14,99 € and adds one year to its expiry.
Not always: under ICANN policy, the registrar may refuse a transfer within 60 days of the domain’s creation or its last transfer.
A national extension reassures a local audience; .com suits an international one. If your name is free in both, register both and redirect one to the other.
