.international
A .international domain is a generic top-level domain, which means it is not tied to a particular country. Binky Moon, LLC runs the registry for this extension. The registry describes it as a global domain that can be used in connection with communication, language, education, politics, sport, shipping, airlines, law, the import and export of goods, travel, and as part of a company name.
A .international domain supports DNSSEC, which helps protect your domain from certain kinds of tampering with its DNS records. Names can be between 1 and 63 characters long, and internationalised domain names are allowed. Your registration term can run from 1 to 10 years, and you do not need a local presence in any country to register one.
A .international domain suits anyone whose audience is spread across the world. Before you register, check that the name length and characters work for you, and decide how long you want the registration to run.
Registration is open to anyone worldwide.
- Anyone may register a .international domain, with no local presence required.
- Your contact details must be accurate.
- You must keep your contact details current while you hold the name.
Renew before your expiry date to keep the name. The registrar will send renewal reminders.
- After expiry there is a 40-day grace period in which you can still renew the domain.
- There is no separate redemption period for this extension.
- If the name is not renewed, it is released afterwards.
You can transfer an existing .international domain to Domain Central from another provider.

You can change the registrant of a .international domain through the registrar.
- The change is made through the registrar, not the registry directly.
- A change of registrant does not change the expiry date.
