Overview
What is .expert
The word expert means someone who has mastered a field after years of work in it, so that people consult them. .expert entered the internet’s root in 2014 and is run by Binky Moon, LLC. The word is similar in many languages, so most people understand it even without good English.
.expert suits accountants, auditors, engineers, consultants, appraisers and translators, and anyone giving advice people pay for. At muhasib-basra.expert, a business owner in Basra knows they’ve found an accountant to consult on taxes and accounts, before reading a line of the résumé.
With us the first year comes with an offer, and the renewal costs several times as much, higher than most of our extensions. The word promises expertise, so only use it if your work and credentials live up to it. If your clients are in Iraq, register your own name in .com too, as that is what most of them type when they remember you.
