.graphics
A .graphics domain is a generic top-level domain run by Binky Moon, LLC, which operates the registry. It is open for registration and was introduced as a newer extension aimed at creative work. Designers, studios, illustrators, photographers and stock photo sellers use it to present their services. Students can use a .graphics domain name to publish a portfolio and CV online.
The registry supports DNSSEC, which helps protect your domain from certain forms of tampering with its DNS records. Names can be between 3 and 63 characters long, and internationalised names are allowed. Registrations run for 1 to 10 years, so you can lock in a longer term up front. Renewals are set in one-year steps.
A .graphics domain suits creative professionals who want a name that describes what they do. It also suits businesses with several departments that want each one to redirect to the main site. Before you register, check that your chosen name is available and that you are happy with a term of one year or more.
Registration is open to anyone worldwide.
- There are no local presence requirements, so you do not need to be based in any particular country.
- Contact details must be accurate when you register.
- You must keep your contact details current for the life of the domain.
Renew before the expiry date to keep your name without interruption.
- After expiry there is a grace period of 40 days in which you can still renew the domain.
- There is no separate redemption period.
- Renewals are made in 1-year increments, and the registrar will send renewal reminders.
- If the domain is not renewed by the end of the grace period, it is released afterwards.
You can move an existing .graphics domain to Domain Central from another provider.
- You need the authorisation (EPP) code from your current registrar and the domain must be unlocked.
- A domain cannot be transferred within 60 days of registration or of a previous transfer.
- Transfers usually complete in 5 to 7 days, and the losing registrar has up to 5 days to respond.
- A successful transfer adds one year to the registration term.
You can change the registrant of your .graphics domain through the registrar.
- A change of registrant does not change the expiry date.
- The registration term stays the same after the change.
