.claims
A .claims domain is a generic top-level domain run by Binky Moon, LLC. It is a newer extension, and the registrar describes it as suited to insurance companies and law firms. Those businesses use it to sell claims policies, take quote requests and let customers file claims online.
The registry supports DNSSEC, which helps protect your domain’s DNS records from tampering. You can register a name of 1 to 63 characters, and internationalised names are allowed. Registrations run for 1 to 10 years, so you can lock in a longer term if you prefer. A 40-day grace period after expiry gives you time to renew before you lose the name.
A .claims domain is a good choice if you want a dedicated secondary website for claims services that sits alongside your main site. Before you register, check that your contact details are accurate, because the registry requires them to be kept current. Also check that the name you want is available and suits the service you offer.
Registration is open to anyone worldwide.
- No local presence is required to register a .claims domain.
- Your contact details must be accurate when you register.
- You must keep your contact details current for as long as you hold the name.
Renewal is handled through your registrar before the name expires.
- After expiry, you have a 40-day grace period to renew the name.
- There is no separate redemption period.
- If the name is not renewed within the grace period, it is released.
You can move an existing .claims domain to Domain Central from another provider.
- You need the authorisation (EPP) code from your current registrar.
- The domain must be unlocked before the transfer starts.
- A domain cannot be transferred within 60 days of registration or of a previous transfer.
- Transfers usually take 5 to 7 days, and the losing registrar has up to 5 days to respond.
- A successful transfer adds one year to the registration term.
You can change the registrant of a .claims domain through the registrar.
- Changing the registrant does not change the expiry date.
- The registration term stays the same after the change.
