Preconditions
In order to register a .museum domain, you need a so-called »Membership-ID«
and the matching password. If you should not have one by now, you
can apply for
it here.
The allocation policy of .museum domains is administered by the organization
»MuseDoma«. Only organizations, societies, and natural persons
as defined by the ICOM
(International Council of Museums) are eligible for registration.
In short, you can say that nearly any museum meets the conditions and
therefore the regulations do not restrict the registration for museums.
You can find further details
on MuseDoma's web site.
Domain names
.museum domains consist of at least 3 character strings. It is possible to use
more than 3, but short names are usually favored. The structure is based on this scheme:
specific.general.museum
According to this scheme domain names usually look like this:
- minneapolis.institute.arts.museum
- nickle.arts.museum
- pamplinhistoricalpark.civilwar.museum
- bnhm.berkeley.museum
- naturalhistory.london.museum
- computerhistory.virtual.museum
The principles and regulations are available on the web site of
MuseDoma.
The registration is very easy. It will not be processed automatically,
but you can complete the E-mail application form and send it to
support@knipp.de.
We will contact you and report about the registration process.
Each registration is valid for 2 years and will be renewed automatically
for another 2 years. The costs are provided in our
price list.
