Questions before you register or transfer a .SPA?
Short answers for buyers checking studio use, creative naming, DNS, transfer, renewal, bulk search, or reseller/API support before choosing .SPA.
What is a .SPA domain and who operates it?
.SPA is a generic top-level domain operated by Asia Spa and Wellness Promotion Council Limited. It is intended for spas, wellness providers, beauty services, resorts, hotels, consultants, and related brands.
Who can register a .SPA domain?
.SPA applicants must demonstrate a connection to the spa or wellness industry, such as a relevant business registration, association membership, declaration of intended use, or operating license where applicable. The registry may request supporting documents.
Is .SPA restricted to spa and wellness users?
The namespace is intended for the spa and wellness community. Eligible users may include spas, wellness providers, beauty services, resorts, hotels, consultants, associations, and related product brands.
How should I choose a .SPA name?
Use a short spa, clinic, resort, hotel, treatment, wellness, beauty, product, or brand name. Avoid names that could confuse visitors about another company or protected mark.
What DNS records might a spa website need?
Use valid nameservers, website and professional email records, booking-platform verification, service menus, maps, analytics, and customer-support tools where applicable.
Can I transfer a .SPA 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.
How should a spa business protect a .SPA domain?
Keep the domain under authorized business ownership, maintain current contacts and eligibility records, enable account security, protect booking data, and renew before seasonal campaigns.
Can I compare several .SPA names at once?
Yes. Use the availability search for one idea or prepare spa, resort, clinic, treatment, wellness, beauty, and location names in the bulk registration section. Each registration must meet registry eligibility rules.
Can spa businesses automate .SPA domain management?
NiceNIC provides reseller API workflows for supported registration, renewal, DNS, transfer, and portfolio operations.
