.boutique
A .boutique domain is a generic top-level domain run by Binky Moon, LLC. It is a newer extension, and it is aimed at speciality shops and businesses that sell clothing, shoes, books, accessories and many other kinds of goods.
This extension supports DNSSEC, which helps protect your domain against certain tampering with its DNS records. Names can be between 1 and 63 characters long, and internationalised names are allowed. You can register for 1 to 10 years, and you can renew in one-year steps.
A .boutique domain suits a business that wants its specialist focus to be clear from the address alone. It also suits boutique hotels and other concepts with a boutique feel. Before you register, check that the name you want is still available and that the term and renewal costs suit your plans.
Registration is open to anyone, anywhere in the world.
- You can register a .boutique domain whether you are in Australia or overseas.
- No local presence is required for this extension.
- Your contact details must be accurate and kept up to date at all times.
If your .boutique domain expires, you still have a grace period to renew it before you lose it.
- The grace period after expiry is 40 days, and your domain keeps working during this time.
- There is no separate redemption period for this extension.
- After the grace period ends, the name is released and anyone can register it.
You can transfer an existing .boutique domain to Domain Central from another provider.
- You will need the authorisation (EPP) code from your current provider, and the domain must be unlocked.
- A transfer usually takes 5 to 7 days to complete.
- A domain cannot be transferred within 60 days of its registration or of a previous transfer.
- A successful transfer adds one year to the registration term.
You can change the registrant of a .boutique domain through your registrar.
- Changing the registrant does not change the expiry date of the domain.
- The registration term stays the same after the change.
