What is a .education domain?
.education is an open generic top-level domain managed by Binky Moon, LLC through Identity Digital Inc., delegated in the DNS root on 28 December 2013. Brice Way, LLC was its first registry; it joined Binky Moon in the March 2018 transfer of 196 strings. The zone is DNSSEC-signed and uses Latin script.

Why Indian coaching centres use .education instead of .edu.in
.edu.in and .ac.in are reserved for recognised academic institutions and are registered through ERNET India, so most private tutors, coaching centres and ed-tech start-ups cannot get them; .education carries the same signal with no approval step. That makes it the practical “education” address for the large private learning sector that sits outside university recognition.
| Organisation | Example address | Main use |
|---|---|---|
| JEE or NEET coaching institute | kotaprep.education | Batch schedules, results, fee enquiries |
| Home-tuition network | tutorsnearyou.education | Tutor profiles by subject and locality |
| Ed-tech start-up | learnmaths.education | Course catalogue and app download |
| School trust or PTA | parentsforum.education | Notices and event updates for parents |
| Literacy or skilling NGO | padhoindia.education | Programme reports and donor updates |
A CBSE school or a UGC-recognised college that qualifies for .edu.in or .ac.in should still take that address for official notices, and can add a .education name for admissions campaigns.
How much does a .education domain cost in India?

Does .education require proof that you are an institution?
No — .education is open to anyone, with no affiliation certificate, AICTE approval or board recognition checked by the registry. The obligations are ordinary: accurate registrant details, a working email for renewal and transfer notices, and no misleading use under the registry’s acceptable-use policy.
- Recognition claims: the domain does not imply approval; do not describe a course as “recognised” unless a regulator has said so.
- Student data: admission forms collect minors’ details; publish a privacy notice and limit what you ask for.
- Who should hold it: register in the trust’s or company’s name, not a staff member’s, so it survives staff changes.
.education, .in or .institute for a coaching brand?
Use .in when parents search for your brand by name; use .education when the brand is generic or the .in is taken; use .institute when the word “institute” is already part of your name. No extension improves search ranking by itself, so the decision is about recall and trust on a hoarding or admission form.
Coaching brands often register both: the .in domain at ₹1,000 a year for the main site and a .education name that redirects to the admissions page.
Launching a .education site
A coaching or school site on .education needs hosting, a mailbox for admissions and, often, a learning platform. Course portals run on Moodle hosting, brochure sites on shared hosting, and our ed-tech and education page covers exam-season traffic spikes. Renewal timing is covered in the domain renewal guide.
Frequently asked questions
Who operates the .education registry?
Binky Moon, LLC, managed through Identity Digital Inc. in Bellevue, Washington, according to IANA. It took over from the original registry, Brice Way, LLC, in 2018; the same company also runs .school and .institute.
Can a coaching centre without UGC or AICTE approval use .education?
Yes. The registry checks no approvals, so a tuition or test-prep centre can register freely. Just avoid wording on the site that suggests official recognition you do not hold.
What is the three-year cost of a .education domain?
₹6,176 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹1,800 for the first year and two renewal years at ₹2,188. Premium names carry their own price, shown before checkout.
Is .education treated as an .edu domain by Google or by student-discount sites?
No. Google ranks it like any other extension, and services that verify students or teachers by .edu or .ac.in email do not recognise .education addresses. Use it for your public site, not for verification.
Does .education support DNSSEC?
Yes. The .education zone has a secure delegation in the root, so you can sign your own name once your DNS host supports DNSSEC.
