Welcome to SWITCH

As the registry for domain names ending in .ch and .li, SWITCH has been providing top-grade services ever since the beginning of the internet in Switzerland. We register and administer your .ch and .li domain names correctly and reliably on behalf of the Swiss Federal Office of Communication (OFCOM) and the Liechtenstein Office of Telecommunications (AK). As an independent foundation, SWITCH performs these tasks dutifully and with great technical competence. In this way, we make an important contribution to the stability of the internet.
h2>SWITCH celebrates 25 years of .ch The Swiss Top Level Domain .ch is 25 years old: it was in May 1987 that .ch was registered as the Swiss ending. This was the point at which the Internet in Switzerland came to life - even before the World Wide Web had been invented.
The Swiss country ending was applied for in a particularly straightforward manner: "To show that we were entitled to .ch, we sent an e-mail identifying ourselves as the experts who were responsible for computer networks in Switzerland", explains ETH Professor Bernhard Plattner. Since the necessary ISO Standard had also been complied with, Jon Postel, the founder of IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), registered the Top Level Domain .ch in May 1987 in the name of Bernhard Plattner and Hannes Lubich of the ETH Zurich. Plattner, who was also managing director ad interim of the newly established SWITCH Foundation at the time, transferred the Swiss Top Level Domain to SWITCH - and thus laid the foundation stone for the present-day registration of .ch domain names.
In 1987, the Internet was still purely a network between universities in the USA. The usage within the academic realm also emerges clearly from the first three Swiss internet addresses to be registered: ethz.ch, cern.ch and switch.ch. Tim Berners-Lee did not lay the foundation stone for the current World Wide Web until 1989 at CERN. In 1990, the Internet was made available for commercial use, and people outside the universities and the US military were permitted to use it.
h2>Greater internet security: SWITCH blocks malware spreading websites SWITCH is stepping up the security measures for the Swiss internet: Swiss websites which spread malicious software and infect the computers of internet users with malware as they surf, will be removed from the web. You can find more on this in our FAQs Malware .
