Questions before you register or transfer a .NAME?

Short answers for buyers who need to confirm availability, registration rules, bulk search, transfer steps, payment, or reseller/API support before continuing.

Who should register a .NAME domain?

.NAME is a strong fit for individuals, families, creators, consultants, authors, speakers, and professionals who want a domain centered on personal identity rather than a company or product category.

Is .NAME only for legal names?

IANA describes .NAME as a restricted generic TLD, while public registrar TLD information does not list a broad document requirement for standard registrations. Customers should still register accurate names and follow registry and registrar policy.

Can I use .NAME for a resume or portfolio?

Yes. A .NAME domain can work well for an online resume, biography, portfolio, contact page, personal blog, or profile hub that you want to keep under your own control.

Does .NAME include email-forwarding style use cases?

Some .NAME registry information has historically supported personal identity and email-forwarding style services. Availability and setup depend on current registrar/registry support, so check the service options in your NiceNIC account.

What .NAME combinations should I search?

Try first-last, last-first, initials, nickname, profession + name, or family-name combinations. If the exact version is taken, compare separators, shorter initials, or related personal-brand phrases.

Can I transfer my .NAME domain to NiceNIC?

Yes. Unlock the domain, obtain the authorization code, confirm the domain is not blocked by transfer timing rules, and submit it through NiceNIC domain transfer.

Does .NAME support DNSSEC, IDN, and WHOIS privacy?

Public TLD information lists DNSSEC, IDN, and WHOIS privacy support for .NAME. Final feature availability can depend on registry policy, registrar setup, and account configuration.

Can I bulk search .NAME domains for a family or client list?

Yes. Use bulk domain search to compare multiple personal-name variations, family names, or client profile names before registering.

Can agencies automate .NAME registrations?

Yes. Agencies and platforms that create personal sites or portfolio pages can use the NiceNIC reseller API for supported registration, renewal, transfer, and management workflows.

Secure the .NAME name before someone else does.

Register a new .NAME, transfer an existing domain, or upgrade your account level for bulk registration and reseller API use.
