New rules for museum-domains
The museum-domain is an exclusive domain. It is open for
registration by museums, organization of museums and friends of
museums. The notion of museum is understood very generously,
e.g. a zoological or botanical garden belongs to it. A proof to
be a museum is necessary for registering museum-domains.
ENS ID and Key You will get your eligibility to register
.museum-domains not anymore only at MUSEDOMA, but you can order
the ENS ID and Confidential Key at Secura's museum-website while
you are registering your first museum-domain
(https://www.domainregistry.de/museum.html).
New Policy The museum domains have a new naming policy. In
former times the museum-domains had to have a
third-level-structure in the form specific.generic.museum. It
was e.g. not possible to register moma.museum. The
three-level-domains are persisting, but you can also register
second level domains like guggenheim.museum. It is important,
that the second level domain is derived directly from the
official name of the museum.
Digital Museum. Digital museums are eligible to register
museum-domains. It is only logic, that the digital museum get
the digital address of museums - the museum-domain. The managers
of digital museums can register at .museum or at virtual.museum,
digital.museum, online.museum or cyber.museum - even at all
second levels.
IDN: museum-domains with special characters You can order now
museum-domains in many different languages. You can use the
special characters of your own language. One example for a
domain with special characters: http://
