Overview

What is .study

The word study carries both senses: to study and revise, and a study in the sense of written research. .study entered the internet’s root in 2015 as a new generic extension; it is run by Registry Services, LLC and supports DNSSEC signing, but not names written in Arabic, so its names use Latin letters, digits and hyphens.

It suits admissions and study-abroad offices, summary and revision platforms, groups of students who study together before exams, and study and research centers. It speaks in the student’s voice, not the institution’s, so it suits those who serve and accompany students more than those who grant them the qualification at the end of the road.

Its price with us is fixed, the first year and every renewal, and it’s higher than .com’s. Many people know it less well than .com, so register .com with it for those who look for you by name alone, at home or abroad.

Who it suits

For your field: is .study the best fit?

Every field has an extension that says something about it. Here is what .study says in each, and which extension completes it.

  • Study abroad

    Excellent · The first choice

    It tells students from the address that you guide them in their studies, and .com completes it for those looking for you from any country.

    Register it with.study.com

  • A summary and revision platform

    Good · A good fit

    It says the site is for revision, and the curriculum’s or grade’s name before it tells students they’ve found what they’re looking for.

    Register it with.study.education

  • A student study group

    Good · A good fit

    A short address gathering the group’s lessons and dates, and .team says you study together.

    Register it with.study.team

  • A research and study center

    Good · A good fit

    The word also means a study in the sense of research, and .institute says you’re an established body.

    Register it with.institute.study

  • A university or college

    Consider another · Consider .university

    Study speaks in the student’s voice, and a university needs an extension that says it grants the qualification.

    Register it with.university.college

  • A name in Arabic letters

    Consider another · Consider .com

    It doesn’t support names in Arabic, so if you want a name in Arabic letters, choose an extension that supports them.

Tips

Before you register

  1. 1The country you guide to, in the nameAn office guiding students to a given country is recognized faster when the country shows in its address.
  2. 2Write your Arabic name as it’s saidNames here are Latin, so choose a spelling of your Arabic name that students read as they pronounce it.
  3. 3A short name, read as it’s writtenIf it needs spelling out on the phone, it’s too long or too complicated.
  4. 4No digits or hyphens that need explainingEvery hyphen or digit has to be said, and what has to be said gets forgotten.
  5. 5Renew automatically, or register for yearsUp to 10 years at once, so you never miss a date.
  6. 6Make sure the name isn’t someone else’s trademarkA registered trademark’s owner can recover the name from whoever registered it first.

  • $46 a year, for the first year and every renewal: the price you see when you search, with no other fees at registration.

  • Anyone, person or organization, from any country, with no documents or conditions; the contact details in the owner’s name just need to be accurate.

  • Yes, once 60 days have passed since it was registered or last transferred. Ask your current provider for the transfer (EPP) code and open a transfer request with us; a full year is added to the domain’s term.

  • We remind you by email 31 days and 8 days before expiry, and 3 days after it. After expiry the website and email stop, and you can renew in the first eight days at the regular renewal price; from day 10 it may go to auction. If it is deleted and the registry allows redemption within 30 days, the redemption fee is $200 plus a year’s renewal.

  • No. IANA’s repository of internationalized names (IDN) holds no Arabic table for .study, so names in it use Latin letters, digits and hyphens.
