The .name domain is a so-called generic top-level domain, abbreviated gTLD. The peculiarity of this domain type is that some association is already given by the designation of the TLD - in the case of the .name domain, your visitors know directly that they are on a name domain that is often used by artists, families or individuals to represent your own name or a nickname. As it is mostly a TLD for private individuals, it can be purchased and registered by anyone on the Internet worldwide - there are no significant restrictions or guidelines for awarding.
The registered .name domains are managed by VeriSign, who is also responsible for the administration of the .com and the .net domain . You can buy and register the .name domain since 1995.

Especially for families, artists or individuals, the .name domain is well suited. Personal information can be provided on an individual website with matching URL - artists, publicists and authors can register their artist name and display works and references for viewing. Domains can be registered both at second and third level. Families have the opportunity to create their own internal e-mail addresses or websites - these would be structured according to the following pattern: john@doe.name or www.john.doe.name
The original syntax of the .name domain was set to firstname.surname.name - but you can now also buy and register other domains. There are between one and 63 characters available. Special characters, hyphens, numbers and pure numerical domains are of course allowed. At easyname, you can quickly and conveniently purchase your preferred domain online: within seconds, we'll register your Internet address - within a single day, all the bureaucratic hurdles are taken and you can start setting up your website.
