.NAME Domain Name Registrations

Set up in 2001, the .NAME generic top-level domain extension is the sole TLD supposed to be for personal websites only. These domain names can include personal or fictional names, aliases and/or other titles people are popular by. Initially, solely third-level registrations were possible, so if you wanted to buy john.doe.name, you had to do that under .doe.name. In 2004, however, the registration process was liberalized and 2nd-level registrations were also allowed. Existing 3rd-level names remained functional.

Through our firm, you can obtain your .NAME domain for an interval between 1 and 10 years. You will have the opportunity to update the WHOIS contact details, to park your domain, to modify Custom DNS records, etc. You can also move over an existing domain to our firm if you take its EPP transfer authorization key from the present registrar company and we will renew it once the transfer has been done. There are no specific conditions on who can acquire a dot NAME domain, but in order to keep the objective behind its establishment alive, the .NAME Registry may verify who the Registrant is and if there is no connection between the owner and the actual domain, the registration may be challenged.

The .NAME universal TLD is amongst the extensions that support internationalized domains, so we can also register a domain in any language at no additional cost. In this way, your dot NAME domain will be recognized in your country or area with the proper spelling in your native language.
