.garden
A .garden domain is a generic top-level domain operated by Registry Services, LLC. The registry describes it as a new extension for showing off a back garden, running a garden centre or nursery, or organising a farmers’ market. It also suits bloggers sharing handy gardening hints and people who simply enjoy their hobby.
Registrations can run from 1 to 10 years, and renewals are added one year at a time. Your .garden domain supports DNSSEC, which helps protect visitors from forged DNS answers. Names can be between 3 and 63 characters long, and internationalised names are allowed. There is no local presence requirement, so you do not need a physical base in any particular country.
A .garden domain is a good choice if your business or hobby is about gardens, plants or outdoor spaces. Before you register, check that a short, clear name suits your purpose. Remember that you must keep your contact details accurate and current, because the registry requires it.
Registration is open to anyone worldwide.
- Anyone may register a .garden domain, whether an individual, business or organisation.
- You must provide contact details that are accurate.
- You must keep your contact details current for as long as you hold the domain.
Your .garden domain has a 40-day grace period after it expires.
- During the 40-day grace period after expiry, you can still renew the domain at the normal renewal rate.
- There is no separate redemption period.
- Renewals are added in one-year increments.
- If the domain is not renewed, it is released afterwards.
You can transfer an existing .garden 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 .garden domain through the registrar.
- The change is made through the registrar, not directly with the registry.
- A change of registrant does not change the expiry date.
