About .world

A .world domain is a generic top-level domain run by Binky Moon, LLC. It is open for anyone to use to share information about global news or events, the planet, a spiritual dimension, the real world or a fictional one.

The registry supports DNSSEC, which helps protect your domain’s DNS records from tampering. Names can be from 1 to 63 characters long, and internationalised names are allowed. Registrations run for a minimum of 1 year and renew in 1 year steps, up to a maximum of 10 years.

A .world domain suits projects aimed at a worldwide audience or campaigns that raise awareness of issues affecting the entire planet. Before you register, check that the name you want is available and that your contact details are accurate, because the registry requires them to be kept current.
