.direct
A .direct domain is a generic top-level domain run by Binky Moon, LLC. Its registry describes it as a new extension that is open for anyone to use, so it suits many kinds of websites and organisations.
The registry supports DNSSEC, so you can add that layer of security to your domain. Names can be from 1 to 63 characters long, and internationalised names are allowed. Registrations run for 1 to 10 years, and a successful transfer adds one year to your term.
A .direct domain is a good choice if your name or business is built around the word direct, or if your site is a teaching site, route finder, advisory site or email provider. Before you register, check that your contact details are accurate, because you must keep them current.
Registration is open to anyone in the world.
- Anyone may register a .direct domain, wherever they live.
- Your contact details must be accurate when you register.
- You must keep your contact details current for as long as you hold the name.
Your .direct domain has a 40-day grace period after it expires.
- You have 40 days after expiry to renew your .direct domain and keep the name.
- There is no separate redemption period.
- If the name is not renewed, it is released after the grace period ends.
You can transfer an existing .direct domain to Domain Central from another provider.
- 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 registration or of a previous transfer.
You can change the registrant of a .direct domain through your registrar.
- Changing the registrant does not change the expiry date of the domain.
- The change is made through your registrar, not directly with the registry.
