.consulting
A .consulting domain is a generic top-level domain run by Dog Beach, LLC. It was introduced as one of the newer domain extensions and is open for registration. Independent consultants and larger consulting firms are the people the extension is aimed at, as it gives them a space where clients can look for professional advice.
The registry supports DNSSEC, which helps protect your domain from certain types of tampering. Registrations can run for one to ten years, and you can renew in one-year steps. Names can be between 2 and 63 characters long, and internationalised names are allowed. Because it is a new extension, many names remain available, so you have more choice when picking a name that matches your business.
A .consulting domain is a good choice if your business is in consulting or advisory work and you want a name that says so clearly. Before you register, check that the name you want is available and that you are happy with a term of at least one year. Consider how long you intend to keep the domain, since you can register for up to ten years at a time.
