.academy frequently asked questions
01How much does a .academy domain cost?
The cheapest first year we found is $7.45 at Spaceship. Renewal matters more: the cheapest renewal is $13.00 at Amazon Route 53, so five years costs $65.00.
02Why is .academy renewal so much more than the first year?
The first year is a promotional price. Renewal runs 74% higher, which is the price you pay every year after. Registrars advertise the first number.
03Who runs the .academy registry?
Binky Moon, LLC. Registrars sell .academy names on the registry's behalf; the registry sets the wholesale price.
04Is anyone allowed to register a .academy domain?
We have no record of an eligibility restriction on .academy. Registries can change policy, so confirm at the registrar before buying.
