The .university top-level domain is a great resource for universities looking to go online.
Is the .UNIVERSITY domain extension right for me?
Because .university operates as an open registry, any group, person or company can use this unique and flexible domain name extension for any purpose. This opens up university marketing opportunities for student groups, business partners, scholarship organizations and others who work closely with, but are not necessarily part of, universities. Regardless of usage, this industry domain provides an easily recognizable and reliable option.
The domain university supports Latin characters
Registration and renewal of university domain costs 59.50 $ for 1 year and the domain can be registered for not more than 5 year.
The minimum number of characters in the domain is 3, and the maximum is 63.
Most often as a domain name take the name of the company and here it is important uniqueness. You’re in luck if you pick up both the name of the company and the domain at the same time. In that case, immediately check the options that come to your mind. It is important to check whether there are already companies with a similar or similar name. Because if there is already a big company with a similar name, which has been operating for a long time – it will be difficult for you to overtake it in search results. Also, you can be confused with a competitor and you will lose some traffic.
Domain length
Despite the fact that in the domain zone university there is an opportunity to use 63 symbols in the domain name – we do not recommend it. As a rule, the shorter the domain, the better and easier it is to remember. But a domain that is too short can also be difficult to remember, for example, if you will use an abbreviation or acronym for the name, in most cases we don’t recommend it.
Simplicity
A domain name in the university zone should be easy to remember and write. For example, imagine if you dictate over the phone slozhnoe-nazwanie .university. There are several complications in such a domain: it is a hyphen, it is a transliteration of the letter g, which can be written as zh, zsh, zch and so on. Therefore, it will be better if the domain does not contain hyphens, numbers and difficult-to-pronounce parts.
Additional domains
If you have registered a domain only in the university zone – then check the same name in related domains. For example, for a company that operates in Kiev, in addition to registering domain kiev.ua, you can also register domains com.ua and org.ua. Otherwise, you may find yourself in a situation where you decide to expand your business – and competitors take your name in other domain zones. Better get ahead of them.
