Overview
What is .events
.events is the plural of the English word event: an occasion or gathering. It speaks to wedding, conference and exhibition organizers, event halls and the companies that equip them, and anyone announcing an event and inviting people to it. It was added to the internet’s root in 2014, and IANA’s record names Binky Moon, LLC as the body responsible for it.
It tells the customer at first sight that your work is organizing events, sparing them a long about page. It also suits the site of a yearly conference that recurs under the same name. It supports names in Arabic and DNSSEC signing.
We have an offer for its first year, and renewal costs more. Its word is longer than .com and plural, so some people may type event without the s; and it is less familiar than .com to those who haven’t seen it before, so write it wherever you can rather than only saying it.

- 4No digits or hyphens that need explainingEvery hyphen or digit has to be said, and what has to be said gets forgotten.
- 5Renew automatically, or register for yearsUp to 10 years at once, so you never miss a date.
- 6Make sure the name isn’t someone else’s trademarkA registered trademark’s owner can recover the name from whoever registered it first.
