Any individual or organization looking to own an academic institution is eligible to register the .EDUCATION domain extension.

The minimum period to register the .EDUCATION domain name is 1year.

Registering the .EDUCATION domain name is done instantly.

You do not have to wait for your domain name to expire before renewing it. The .EDUCATION domain name, after expiration, goes into a renewal grace period for 40 days, after which it goes into a redemption period of 30 days (a period also known as the Pending Delete Restorable) when all services associated with the domain (such as DNS, website, emails, etc) will no longer be available. Renewal at this period would cost more. At the end of this period, the domain enters a 5-day Pending Purge period and the domain can no longer be renewed or recovered and would be available to the general public for registration on a "first come first serve basis".

Domain Names must:

• have a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 63 characters;
• begin with a letter or a number and end with a letter or a number;
• use the English character set and may contain letters (i.e., a-z, A-Z), numbers (i.e. 0-9) and dashes (-) or a combination of these; neither begin with nor end with a dash;
• not contain a dash in the third and fourth positions (e.g. www.xy- -db.education)not include a space (e.g. www.xy db.education)
