Review .INT domain eligibility, understand why it is not a normal open retail TLD, and compare practical domain alternatives if your organization does not meet IANA .INT criteria.
Need lower .INT pricing or help with eligibility? Upgrade account level for bulk registration and reseller pricing.
.INT is a specialized namespace. NiceNIC can help customers understand eligibility, compare available alternatives, manage supported domain registrations, and plan DNS, transfer, bulk search, or reseller workflows for open TLDs.
Add funds and pay for domain services using supported crypto options such as USDT, BTC, ETH, and LTC. Automated crypto deposit recording helps account balances update quickly after successful confirmation, with no extra NiceNIC processing fee for automated deposits.
NiceNIC provides real human support, not only scripted replies. Our team can review your domain needs, explain practical options, and give account-level, transfer, bulk registration, and reseller suggestions to help your domain business grow.
NiceNIC does not take arbitrary action against domains. Abuse reports are reviewed based on available evidence, policies, and registry requirements, with domain owners guided to review, fix, or explain reported issues where appropriate.
Manage .INT together with 2,500+ domain extensions from one NiceNIC account, including country-code, generic, and new domain extensions. This helps businesses, investors, and resellers build global domain coverage more efficiently.
NiceNIC supports 47+ website languages, creating a multilingual registrar experience for international users and teams. This makes domain registration, renewal, transfer, account management, and support easier across different markets.
For hosting providers, agencies, platforms, and domain resellers, NiceNIC supports reseller API access for domain registration, renewal, transfer, DNS, account-level pricing, and custom nameserver services.
As of June 21, 2026, the public .INT zone-count snapshot reviewed for this page showed 191 registered domains. IANA describes .INT as a specialized no-cost domain solely for eligible UN specialized agencies, UN observer-status organizations, and organizations established by international treaties between or among national governments.
Public zone-count snapshot reviewed in 2026.
.INT share of 392.5M total domain registrations.
Total domain registrations across all TLDs in Q1 2026.
This chart compares .INT with major domain categories using Q1 2026 market totals and the latest public .INT zone-count snapshot reviewed for this page.
The practical value of .INT depends on fit: the name before the dot, the extension meaning, the customer audience, and the long-term plan for renewals, DNS, and brand protection.
Applicants must meet IANA criteria; .INT is not intended for ordinary companies, NGOs, communities, or international marketing projects.
The small count reflects strict policy and limited qualifying organizations, not a shortage of normal retail inventory.
Organizations that do not qualify should compare open TLDs for public websites, campaigns, email, and global outreach.
The latest benchmark is 2026. Selected historical snapshots show that .INT remains a very small, policy-restricted namespace for treaty-based international organizations.
No verified public premium .INT completed-sale examples were found in the indexed sources reviewed.
A qualifying intergovernmental organization, a nonprofit, a corporate brand, and an agency will not use .INT the same way. Confirm eligibility first, then choose the right domain path.
Use .INT only when the organization can document the qualifying international treaty or UN-related status.
Confirm whether the program should apply directly or request a third-level domain under an existing qualified .INT name.
Most NGOs and foundations do not qualify for .INT, so compare open alternatives for public websites and campaigns.
Explain that .INT is a policy-restricted namespace and guide non-eligible clients toward available TLDs.
If you already own .INT domains elsewhere, transfer decisions should not be based only on one renewal invoice. Check transfer eligibility, ownership access, billing reliability, support response time, API needs, and long-term domain management.
Paste multiple .INT names, remove duplicates, review the count, and continue to bulk registration. This is useful for domain investors, brand teams, agencies, hosting providers, and resellers.
Enter one name per line, with or without .INT. The tool removes duplicates and prepares a clean list for bulk registration.
If your business sells hosting, websites, SaaS, agency services, or brand protection packages, NiceNIC reseller APIs can support domain registration, renewal, transfer, DNS, and account management.

Short answers for buyers who need to confirm .INT use cases, restrictions, transfers, bulk search, payment, or reseller/API support before continuing.
No. .INT is not a general public registration space. IANA limits .INT to eligible UN specialized agencies, UN observer-status organizations, and qualifying organizations established by international treaties between or among national governments.
IANA policy says the applicant must provide an international treaty between or among national governments, and the treaty must establish the organization applying for the domain.
IANA states that there is no fee for registering a qualifying .INT domain. Because .INT is policy-restricted, customers should not treat it like a normal paid retail TLD.
In general, no. Commercial companies, private associations, ordinary NGOs, and international-sounding projects normally do not qualify unless they meet the strict intergovernmental treaty criteria.
Use domain search or bulk search to compare open alternatives such as .ORG, .FOUNDATION, .GLOBAL, .WORLD, or another extension that fits your mission.
.INT is managed under IANA procedures rather than a normal retail registry flow. Existing .INT organizations should follow IANA modification procedures instead of assuming a standard registrar transfer process.
Existing .INT domain holders can maintain DNS through the relevant IANA process and authoritative name servers. New buyers should confirm eligibility before planning technical deployment.
Customers sometimes ask about short or official-looking TLDs. This page helps explain the real .INT status and redirects non-eligible buyers toward available domain options.
Yes. NiceNIC can help search, register, transfer, and manage supported TLDs for international organizations, foundations, public initiatives, and global campaigns that do not qualify for .INT.
Register a new .INT, transfer an existing domain, or upgrade your account level for bulk registration and reseller API use.
