Questions before you register or transfer a .EXPOSED?

Practical answers about editorial responsibility, evidence, brand use, transfers, DNS, and portfolio management.

Who should register a .EXPOSED domain?

Investigative publishers, fact-checkers, consumer advocates, transparency projects, and public-record researchers can check names in the registration section.

Does a .EXPOSED domain prove that published claims are true?

No. The extension describes the purpose of the site, but accuracy still depends on reliable evidence, fair reporting, corrections, and lawful publication.

Can I use a company or person’s name in a .EXPOSED domain?

Names and trademarks may create legal or impersonation concerns. Use them lawfully, distinguish commentary from an official website, and avoid misleading visitors.

What should an investigative .EXPOSED site publish?

Show sources where lawful, separate facts from opinion, date important updates, provide context, and offer a reasonable correction or response channel.

Can I keep a .EXPOSED website private while I prepare it?

Yes. You can register the domain first, restrict access during preparation, and publish only after security, legal review, and evidence checks are complete.

Can I transfer a .EXPOSED domain to NiceNIC?

Yes, when the domain is eligible. Unlock it, obtain the authorization code, and use the NiceNIC domain transfer service.

Can I search several investigation topics at once?

Yes. Use the bulk search section for subjects, locations, defensive names, and regional versions.

Can a .EXPOSED domain use normal DNS, SSL, and email services?

Yes. Configure DNS, hosting, SSL, and email according to the project’s security and publishing needs.

Can a publisher automate a portfolio of .EXPOSED domains?

Eligible publishers and agencies can use the NiceNIC reseller API for registration, renewal, transfer, and portfolio workflows.

Secure the .EXPOSED name before someone else does.

Register a new .EXPOSED, transfer an existing domain, or upgrade your account level for bulk registration and reseller API use.
