.space
A .space domain is a generic top-level domain run by Radix Technologies Inc. It is open to any business or person who wants a name that stands out, and it suits estate agents, event promoters, construction firms and architects who want a memorable online address. The extension is not restricted, so you can use it for almost any purpose.
The registry supports DNSSEC, which helps protect your domain from tampering. Names can be between 3 and 63 characters long, and internationalised names are not allowed. Registrations run for 1 to 10 years, with renewals added one year at a time, and there is no local presence requirement, so you do not need an address in any particular country.
A .space domain is a good choice if you want a short, clear name that signals what you do or what you are offering. Before you register, check that your chosen name is at least 3 characters long and uses only standard letters and numbers, since non-English characters cannot be used.
Registration is open to anyone worldwide.
- You can register a .space domain whether or not you live or operate in any particular country.
- Your contact details must be accurate.
- You must keep your contact details current throughout the registration.
Your .space domain renews on a yearly basis, and you should renew before the expiry date to keep the name.
- There is a 40 day grace period after expiry during which you can still renew the domain.
- There is no separate redemption period for this extension.
- If the domain is not renewed, it is released after the grace period ends.
To transfer an existing .space domain to Domain Central, you need to meet a few requirements first.
- Obtain the authorisation (EPP) code from your current registrar and make sure the domain is unlocked.
- A domain cannot be transferred within 60 days of its registration or of a previous transfer.
- The transfer usually completes within 5 to 7 days, and a successful transfer adds one year to the registration term.
You can change the registrant of your .space domain through the registrar.
- A change of registrant does not change the expiry date of the domain.
- The registration term stays the same after the change.
