.dance
A .dance domain is a generic top-level domain run by Dog Beach, LLC. It was introduced as a new extension for people and businesses connected with dance, from choreographers and dance studios to shops selling dancewear. The registry’s own website is identity.digital.
A .dance domain supports DNSSEC, which helps protect your visitors from forged DNS answers. Names can be between 2 and 63 characters long, and internationalised names are allowed. Registrations run for 1 to 10 years, so you can lock in a longer term if you prefer. Your name also stays yours for a 40-day grace period after it expires.
A .dance domain suits a business or project where the extension itself says what you do, such as a studio or dance school. Before you register, check that your contact details are accurate and that the name you want is available. You should also keep your details current, because the registry expects them to be correct.
Registration is open to anyone, anywhere in the world.
- Any individual or organisation can register a .dance 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep your name without interruption.
- If your domain expires, you have a 40-day grace period to renew it at the standard price.
- There is no separate redemption period, and renewing during the grace period does not cost extra.
- If you do not renew within the grace period, the name is released afterwards and may be registered by someone else.
You can transfer an existing .dance domain to Domain Central from another provider.
- You need the authorisation (EPP) code from your current provider, and the domain must be unlocked.
- The transfer usually takes 5 to 7 days to complete.
- A domain cannot be transferred within 60 days of registration or of a previous transfer.
- A successful transfer adds one year to the registration term.
You can change the registrant of your .dance domain through your registrar.
- The change is made through Domain Central, not directly with the registry.
- Changing the registrant does not change the expiry date of your domain.
