Dot NAME Domains

Launched in 2001, the Dot NAME universal top-level domain extension is the sole TLD planned for personal sites only. These domain names can be personal or fictional names, aliases and/or other designations people are popular by. At the beginning, solely 3rd-level registrations were possible, so if you desired to secure john.doe.name, you would have to do that under .doe.name. In 2004, however, the registration process was liberalized and second-level registrations were also permitted. Already taken third-level domain names remained functional.

Through our company, you can acquire your dot NAME domain for a period between one and ten years. You will have the opportunity to modify the WHOIS contacts, to park your domain, to create Custom DNS records, etc. You can also transfer an existing domain to our company if you obtain its EPP transfer code from the present registration service provider and we will renew it when the transfer has been finalized. There are no particular regulations on who can acquire a .NAME domain name, but in order to maintain the objective behind its creation alive, the Registry may verify who the owner is and if there is no relation between the owner and the actual domain, the registration could be challenged.

The dot NAME domain extension is one of the extensions that support internationalized domains, so we can also register a domain in any language at no extra cost. In this way, your dot NAME domain will be recognized in your country or region with the precise spelling in your local language.
