Names are an esential part of our lives. Now, with .NAME your name can be central to your life online too. As your .NAME can be registered for up to 10 years and ownership is renewable, your .NAME really can be yours for life.
It makes life simpler. The only thing anyone needs to remember to get in touch is your name.
It's incredibly accessible. Wherever you are in the world, however often your change jobs or ISPs, you'll be able to receive your email through you .name website.
It could be you universal address. Very soon, you'll be able to use it as your contact address on an array of different devices, including your cellular phone or PDA.
It's personal. Whether you use it to show off your holiday photos or as an online portfolio, your .NAME domain is an easyway to express yourself online.
It's global. It will be a new global standard for personal web addresses - in exactly the same way as .COM is for business, so you'll be part of a worldwide family of users.
It's non-commercial. No companies or third parties are mentioned in your domain.
It will develop into a unified `digital identity`. Soon it could be a secure repositoryfor personal information and a way of shopping online without giving out your financial details.
Domains (gTLDS) are designed to redically increase the availability of personal domains through our `two dot system`.
Uniquely for a gTLD, .NAME domains are only issued at the third level and therefore have two dots. The extra dot enables you to share you family name with thousands of others, vastly increasing your chance of using your full nameas you web address.
A .NAME domain can follow either of these formats:
firstname.lastname.name or lastname.firstname.name
You can also use your initials or nicknames instead of your first names, or use numbers to create your unique identity.
If you register your .NAME domain, you .NAME email address of the same name will be put on hold for as long as you own the registration of your domain. If you then decide to buy, you must do so through the Official Provider that sold you your domain. But remember you'll get your .NAME and email mre inexpensively if you register them together.
