Frequently asked questions about .direct

What is .direct?

+
.direct is a domain extension (TLD) you can use to give your brand a more targeted identity. It works normally for website, email and redirects, like any modern domain.

Who can register .direct domain?

+
In most cases registration is open to everyone. If the registry has specific rules, they apply to all registrars and we follow them in the process.

How much does registration/renewal/transfer cost?

+
Prices are shown separately in the page table. If a name is marked Premium by the registry, it may have different pricing from standard.

Can I renew it after it expires?

+
Yes, there is usually a grace period for renewal. Duration and any restoration fees are set by the registry, so early renewal is safest.

Can I transfer .direct to DomainMarket?

+
Yes. You will usually need the Auth/EPP code from your current registrar. Transfer typically completes within a few days, depending on the registry.

Does it support DNSSEC and Whois Privacy?

+
DNSSEC (DS records) can be enabled where supported by the TLD/registry. Whois privacy also depends on registry rules and service availability.

Can I use it with email and hosting?

+
Yes. We provide free DNS management and you can point it to Email Hosting/Hosting at DomainMarket or any provider via nameservers or DNS records.

How do I register?

+
Check availability from the page form, choose the term and complete the order. Data protection also depends on registry and registrar. If you get stuck on DNS or transfer, we have human support.
