Domain Registration Information

.EDU Domain Registration

Eligibility for registering a domain in the .EDU top-level domain is limited to regionally-accredited, degree-granting institutions of higher education, including two-year community colleges and four-year colleges and universities. .EDU domains registered before 29 October 2001 will be grandfathered into .EDU, regardless of compliance.

EDUCAUSE is the sole registrar for names in the .EDU domain. Requests for new names in the .EDU domain are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis from eligible institutions which do not have any other previously registered .EDU domain names. At this time, there are no registration fees associated with valid registrations in the .EDU top-level domain.

.COM, .NET, .ORG, Others
