.cleaning
A .cleaning domain is a generic top-level domain that is open for registration. The registry is Binky Moon, LLC, and the extension was designed for businesses that offer office or residential cleaning services. Cleaning companies and independent cleaners are the typical people who choose it, because the extension tells customers what you do before they visit your site.
The registry supports DNSSEC, which helps protect your domain from certain kinds of tampering with its DNS records. You can use internationalised domain names with this extension, and names can be between 1 and 63 characters long. Registrations run for 1 to 10 years, and you can renew them one year at a time, which gives you control over how long you commit.
A .cleaning domain is a good choice if your business is in cleaning and you want your name to say so at a glance. Because it is a newer extension, there is usually plenty of availability for the names you want. Check that your preferred name is free and that your contact details will stay accurate, since the registry requires them to be kept current.
Registration is open to anyone, so you do not need to be a cleaning business to register one.
- Anyone worldwide can register a .cleaning domain.
- Your contact details must be accurate when you register.
- You must keep your contact details current for as long as you hold the domain.
Renewing on time keeps your name without any interruption, but the registry does allow a window after expiry.
- There is a 40 day grace period after the expiry date to renew your domain.
- Renewals are made in one year increments, so you can renew for a single year at a time.
- There is no separate redemption period.
- If the domain is not renewed, the name is released afterwards for others to register.
You can move an existing .cleaning domain to Domain Central from another provider, as long as it meets the registry’s conditions.
- You 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 your .cleaning domain through your registrar, and the change does not affect the expiry date.
- The registrant change is made through your registrar.
- The term stays the same, so the expiry date does not move.
