.group
A .group domain is a generic top-level domain operated by Binky Moon, LLC. It is open to anyone and is versatile enough to suit very different needs. Small groups of friends and family use it to share news and photos, while larger companies use it to create a space for customers to share comments and feedback.
The registry supports DNSSEC, which helps protect your domain from certain forms of tampering with its DNS records. Names can be between 1 and 63 characters long, and internationalised names are allowed. Registrations run for 1 to 10 years, and you can renew in one-year steps.
A .group domain is a good choice if you want a name that clearly signals a community, club or shared space. Before you register, check that the name you want is available and that your contact details are accurate, because the registry expects them to be kept current.
Registration is open to everyone, and there are no registration restrictions for this extension.
- Anyone worldwide can register a .group domain.
- No local presence in any particular country is required.
- Your contact details must be accurate and kept up to date at all times.
Your .group domain has a 40-day grace period after it expires, and you can still renew during this time.
- Renew before the expiry date to keep your name without interruption.
- If you miss the expiry date, the 40-day grace period gives you time to renew.
- There is no separate redemption period, so renewal during the grace period is the way to recover the name.
You can transfer an existing .group domain to Domain Central from another provider once certain conditions are met.
- You need the authorisation (EPP) code from your current provider, and the domain must be unlocked.
- The current provider has up to 5 days to respond, after which the transfer completes automatically.
- A domain cannot be transferred within 60 days of registration or of a previous transfer.
You can change the registrant of your .group domain through your registrar.
- Changing the registrant does not change the expiry date.
- Your registration term stays the same after the change.
