METANET

.ch registrar in Switzerland, read from its own storefront on 2026-10-21

Can a member of the public buy a .ch here?

Its own page offers .ch through a German storefront, but on 2026-10-21 it printed no .ch price with its VAT treatment that this site could read, so it is listed on the Switzerland page as read and not ranked.

Why it is not ranked

Only a limited-time from-price for domains in general (ab CHF 4.90 / Jahr instead of ab CHF 14.90, including VAT) is printed, not a .ch price.

What its page printed

"statt ab CHF 14.90 ab CHF 4.90 / Jahr" beside "Endungen wie .ch, .swiss und vielen weiteren"; "Preise inkl. MwSt. Angebote sind nur für begrenzte Zeit gültig".

Read from https://www.metanet.ch/de on 2026-10-21. A storefront read establishes the language, the currency and the figure the page printed that day. It does not establish support quality, uptime or what a renewal will cost next year.

How the Switzerland storefronts were read

Six Swiss retail brands from SWITCH's accredited list plus the two tracked registrars were opened in a real browser on 2026-09-28. Metanet returned 404 on the pages tried and cyon an unreadable response; OVHcloud's Swiss address returned 404 and Gandi's redirects to the English storefront. On 2026-10-15 the remaining 181 registrars on SWITCH's list that publish a website were opened, so every registrar on the list with a published website has now been tried: 152 were read, 29 could not be, and 5 more print a comparable .ch price. On 2026-10-20/21 the 31 storefronts that could not be read were opened again in a browser that waits longer for pages built by script, reads framed pages and follows a redirect from plain http to https: 17 were read this time, 14 still could not be, and none of those read prints a comparable .ch price.

FAQ

Is METANET accredited to sell .ch?

Yes. METANET is on the accredited-registrar list SWITCH publishes, read on 2026-09-20. Accreditation means the registry permits it to sell the namespace; it does not by itself mean the registrar retails .ch to the public, which is what the storefront read establishes.

What does METANET charge for a .ch domain?

Its page offers .ch, but on 2026-10-21 it printed no .ch price with its VAT treatment that this site could read: Only a limited-time from-price for domains in general (ab CHF 4.90 / Jahr instead of ab CHF 14.90, including VAT) is printed, not a .ch price.

Has this site tested METANET?

No. We have run no support test, no transfer test and no uptime measurement on METANET, so it carries no score and appears in no quality ranking. The .ch ranking on the Switzerland page orders registrars by one printed price only.
