.builders
A .builders domain is a generic top-level domain run by Binky Moon, LLC, and operated through the Identity Digital registry. It is aimed at sites and businesses connected with construction. Carpenters, architects, interior designers, furniture makers, construction workers, real estate developers and website builders can all use it to show their field of expertise, whether they run a big business or a local operation.
The registry supports DNSSEC, so your domain can be signed to help protect the records that point visitors to your site. Registration runs for at least 1 year and renews in 1 year steps. Names can be from 1 to 63 characters long, and internationalised names are allowed. You do not need to be based in any particular place to hold one, so the name works for businesses wherever they operate.
A .builders domain suits anyone whose work is about building, fitting out or designing physical spaces and products, and who wants the extension to say that at a glance. Before you register, check that your chosen name is short and easy to spell, and set a renewal reminder so the name does not lapse.
Registration is open to anyone around the world.
- No local presence is required, so you can register from outside any particular country.
- Contact details must be accurate when you register.
- You must keep your contact details current for as long as you hold the domain.
- Names can be 1 to 63 characters long.
Your domain renews in 1 year steps, and the registry gives you a grace period if you miss the expiry date.
- There is a 40-day grace period after expiry to renew your domain.
- There is no separate redemption period.
- If the domain is not renewed by the end of the grace period, it is released afterwards.
- Renew before the expiry date to keep your name without any risk of losing it.
You can move an existing .builders domain to Domain Central from another provider.
- You need the authorisation (EPP) code from your current provider, and the domain must be unlocked.
- A transfer typically takes 5 to 7 days to complete.
- The domain cannot be transferred within 60 days of registration or of a previous transfer.
- A successful transfer adds one year to your registration term.
You can change the registrant of your domain through Domain Central.
- The change is made through the registrar, not directly with the registry.
- Changing the registrant does not change the expiry date.
