.codes
A .codes domain is a generic top-level domain run by Binky Moon, LLC. It is open to anyone and is a new extension, so many names are still available. Coding bloggers, websites offering vouchers, coupons and promotional codes, and anyone writing about codes of conduct or building codes may find it suits their work.
The registry supports DNSSEC, which helps protect your domain from certain kinds of tampering. Registrations run for 1 to 10 years, and you can choose a term that suits your plans. Names can be between 1 and 63 characters long, and internationalised names are allowed, giving you room to choose a name that fits your brand.
A .codes domain is a good choice if your site or business is built around codes, offers, or programming. Before you register, check that your chosen name is short enough and that your contact details are accurate, because the registry expects them to stay current.
Registration is open to anyone worldwide.
- Anyone anywhere can register a .codes domain, with no local presence required.
- Your contact details must be accurate when you register.
- You must keep your contact details current for the life of the domain.
Your domain has a grace period after it expires, but you should renew before the expiry date to keep the name.
- There is a 40-day grace period after expiry in which you can still renew.
- Renewals are made in 1-year increments.
- There is no separate redemption period.
- If the domain is not renewed, the name is released afterwards.
You can move an existing .codes 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 can begin.
- A domain cannot be transferred within 60 days of registration or of a previous transfer.
- Transfers usually take 5 to 7 days, and a successful transfer adds one year to the registration term.
You can change the registrant of your .codes domain through the registrar.
- The change is made through the registrar and does not change the expiry date.
- The registration term stays the same after an owner change.
