Feature explanation:
- .PL Transfer – means change of the domain registrar; usually 1 year is added to the registration upon successful completion of the transfer. Domain transfer fee is equal to the domain registration fee. In some cases, an EPP authorization key is required. It must be obtained from the domain's current registrar.
- .PL Edit WHOIS – allows the publicly displayed WHOIS information of the domain name to be edited.
- .PL ID Protect – allows protection of the publicly available WHOIS information by replacing it with fictitious information.
- .PL Registration Period – various TLDs can be registered for different periods.
- .PL Single registration/transfer – this refers to the price of a 1-year registration/transfer for a particular TLD, purchased with a web hosting plan. For the majority of TLDs, the minimum registration period is 1 year. For the TLDs marked with "*" this period is 2 years.
