About the .SCIENCE domain

What is the .SCIENCE domain?

The .science is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) managed by Radix Registry. It was delegated by ICANN in 2014. 'Science' is the universal term for science. With the same Radix asymmetric pricing structure: $29.99 in the first year and $3.99/year at renewals. It is the extension for research groups, laboratories, science communication projects, science museums, academic journals and any project where science — in any of its disciplines — is the central focus. No academic affiliation required for registration.

Frequently asked questions about the .SCIENCE domain

Do you need to be a scientist or researcher to register a .science?

No. .science has no academic or professional affiliation restrictions. A science YouTube communicator, a science museum and a university research group all have equal access.

Why is .science renewal so low ($3.99)?

Radix Registry applies the same strategy as .accountant and .win: higher first year, very economical renewal to retain scientific projects that genuinely use the domain long-term.

Is 'data.science' a good domain for a data science project?

Yes. data.science is one of the most semantically coherent domains in the entire new gTLD catalogue — it combines the field (data) with the discipline (science) in just two words. It is the URL equivalent of 'data science'.

Does .science rank well in Google for science searches?

Google treats .science like any gTLD. For scientific and academic content, the semantic coherence between extension and content type may improve CTR and the perceived authority of the domain.

Is .science suitable for a science communication blog or only for formal research?

For both. A university research group and a science YouTube channel are equally coherent with .science. The extension makes no distinction between formal science and popular communication.

Can I transfer my .science domain to miHosting?

Yes. The transfer has no additional cost. You need the authorisation code (Auth Code) from your current registrar. The process takes 5 to 7 business days.
