What is .edu used for?
An educational namespace with specific institutional eligibility rules.
Before choosing .edu, test the whole address with someone outside your team. Ask them to type it after hearing it once, and compare it with alternative extensions available in the directory. Check whether the name fits your project if the products, geography or organisation change. An extension label is not evidence of accreditation or a guarantee of search ranking.
Registration conditions
New registrations require an eligible US-based postsecondary institution with qualifying institutional accreditation, or another body qualifying under EDUCAUSE rules. Similar existing names do not prove eligibility.
Verify the exact spelling, who will hold the registration, and which contact receives renewal and transfer notices. Do not use a contact address that becomes inaccessible if the new domain fails. Registration is separate from hosting, email and any licence required for your activity.
Understand the price before ordering
There is no verified price for this exact extension in our local Capconnect catalogue. A price for a parent extension does not automatically apply to a descriptive suffix. Confirm that the provider offers this extension before preparing an order.
Confirm the billing period, taxes, premium-name charges and any services included at checkout. Compare the renewal cost as well as the first registration price. A catalogue entry is a quote reference, not a real-time guarantee of availability or acceptance.
Check the name, then connect your services
Search the complete name below. A registered result means the public registration record exists; a failed lookup does not mean the name is free. After registration, save the confirmation and renewal date, configure nameservers, then test the website over HTTPS and email in both directions.
