.cruises

A .cruises domain is a generic top-level domain open for registration. Binky Moon, LLC runs the registry for the extension, and it is one of the newer domain extensions available to register. It is intended for cruise ship operators and travel agencies offering ocean cruises, so your name signals the travel business you are in.

The registry supports DNSSEC, which helps protect your domain against tampering with its DNS records. You can register names from 1 to 63 characters long, and internationalised names are allowed. Registrations run for 1 to 10 years, and you can renew in one-year steps. Because the extension is still relatively new, there is plenty of availability for a name that matches your brand.

A .cruises domain suits a business that sells ocean cruises and wants a name customers will recognise at a glance. Before you register, check that you can meet the term and renewal rules, and confirm your contact details are accurate, as the registry requires them to be kept current.

Registration is open to anyone worldwide.

• Anyone may register a .cruises domain, regardless of where they live.
• Your contact details must be accurate when you register.
• You must keep your contact details current for as long as you hold the name.

Your domain stays in your control until the expiry date, and the grace period gives you time to renew after that.

• After expiry there is a 40 day grace period in which you can still renew the domain.
• Renewals are made in one-year increments, and you must renew before the grace period ends.
• There is no separate redemption period.
• If the domain is not renewed by the end of the grace period, the name is released.

You can transfer an existing .cruises domain to Domain Central from another provider if the domain has been held long enough.

• You need the authorisation (EPP) code from your current registrar, and the domain must be unlocked.
• A domain cannot be transferred within 60 days of its registration or of a previous transfer.
• The losing registrar has up to 5 days to respond, and the transfer completes automatically after that.
• A successful transfer to Domain Central adds one year to the registration term.

You can change the registrant of your .cruises domain without affecting when it expires.

• The registrant is changed through your registrar.
• A change of registrant does not change the expiry date.
