Questions before you register or transfer a .DEGREE?
Short answers for buyers checking education use, credential claims, DNS, transfer, renewal, bulk search, or reseller/API support before choosing .DEGREE.
What is a .DEGREE domain and who operates it?
.DEGREE is a generic top-level domain operated by Dog Beach, LLC within the Identity Digital registry platform. It is designed for degree programs, admissions resources, education publishers, course platforms, and related projects.
Who can register a .DEGREE domain?
.DEGREE is generally open to individuals, institutions, businesses, publishers, platforms, and organizations worldwide, subject to availability and registry and registrar policies.
Does a .DEGREE domain prove accreditation?
No. Registering the domain does not verify accreditation, degree-awarding authority, recognition, licensing, or academic quality. Website owners should describe credentials and institutional status accurately.
How should I choose a .DEGREE name?
Use a short institution, subject, program, career, location, or study-resource name. Avoid wording that could mislead applicants about official affiliation, accreditation, or another protected brand.
What should an education website disclose?
Provide clear ownership, program details, entry requirements, fees, credential status, accreditation information where applicable, contact methods, refund terms, and application guidance.
What DNS records might a .DEGREE website need?
Use valid nameservers, website and professional email records, admissions or learning-platform verification, secure login services, newsletters, analytics, and document tools where applicable.
Can I transfer a .DEGREE domain to NiceNIC?
Yes, when it is eligible under standard gTLD transfer rules. Unlock the domain, obtain the authorization code, and submit the request through the NiceNIC transfer page.
Can I compare several .DEGREE names at once?
Yes. Use the availability search for one idea or prepare institution, subject, program, career, and location names in the bulk registration section.
Can education providers automate .DEGREE domain management?
NiceNIC provides reseller API workflows for supported registration, renewal, DNS, transfer, and portfolio operations.
