About .university

.university is a generic top-level domain meant for universities, colleges, and other higher education institutions. It is operated by Binky Moon, LLC, a subsidiary of Identity Digital. The domain is open to any qualifying educational organization, but it is not restricted solely to accredited universities. Some registries impose eligibility checks to ensure the registrant is a genuine academic body. The TLD was delegated in April 2014, initially to Little Station, LLC, before being transferred to Binky Moon in 2018. It offers a clear, recognizable web address for the academic community.

History

The .university domain was first delegated to Little Station, LLC on April 9, 2014. About four years later, in March 2018, the rights were transferred to Binky Moon, LLC as part of a larger group of 196 TLDs. This transfer shifted operational oversight to Identity Digital, which continues to run the registry today.

Eligibility & restrictions

Open to universities and related academic organizations; registries may require verification of educational status.
