Questions before you register or transfer a .CARE?
Short answers for care providers and buyers checking eligibility, responsible use, DNS, transfer, renewal, bulk search, or API support.
What is a .CARE domain and who operates it?
.CARE is a generic top-level domain operated by Binky Moon, LLC within the Identity Digital registry portfolio. It supports direct second-level names for care, health, support, wellness, family, pet, and service-related websites.
Who can register a .CARE domain?
.CARE is generally open to individuals, businesses, organizations, and service providers worldwide, subject to name availability and applicable registry and registrar policies.
Does a .CARE domain prove that a provider is licensed or accredited?
No. The domain name does not verify a medical license, professional qualification, accreditation, insurance status, safeguarding approval, or government endorsement. Website owners must present accurate credentials and comply with applicable laws.
What services are a good fit for .CARE?
Clinics, home-care providers, elder services, child-care businesses, disability support, mental-wellness resources, pet care, social programs, customer-care teams, and nonprofit support projects can use .CARE.
What DNS and security setup should a care website use?
Use stable nameservers, HTTPS-enabled hosting, professional email records, strong account recovery, and monitoring for unauthorized DNS changes. Health or personal data should only be collected through systems appropriate for the applicable privacy and security requirements.
Can I transfer a .CARE domain to NiceNIC?
Yes, when it is eligible under standard gTLD transfer rules. Unlock the domain, obtain the authorization code, and submit it through the NiceNIC transfer page.
What should a care organization check before renewal?
Confirm the registrant email, account owner, nameservers, renewal price, auto-renew setting, and recovery contacts. Organizations should avoid leaving control with a temporary contractor or former staff member.
Can I compare several service and location names?
Yes. Use the availability search for one name or prepare brand, service, specialty, and location combinations in the bulk registration section.
Can care networks automate domain management?
NiceNIC provides a reseller API for supported registration, renewal, DNS, transfer, and portfolio workflows used by networks, agencies, platforms, and service providers.
