About .education

The .education domain extension is a generic TLD for educational institutions and related organizations. It is sponsored and operated by Binky Moon, LLC, a subsidiary of Identity Digital. The registry does not impose strict eligibility requirements, so anyone can register a .education domain. That said, the TLD was created to serve the global educational community, and most registrants are schools, universities, training centers, or educational technology companies. The domain was delegated to ICANN in 2013. It was originally run by a different entity and later transferred to Binky Moon, LLC in 2018 as part of a large portfolio of 196 TLDs. Since then it has been managed by Identity Digital's infrastructure. The domain is often used for campus websites, educational blogs, and administrative portals that want a clear association with learning.

Eligibility & restrictions

No formal eligibility requirements. Anyone can register a .education domain, though it is intended for educational use.
