Expired .FAITH Domains

What is the .faith domain name?

The .faith domain name is a new top-level domain (TLD) that is specifically for religious websites and organizations. The TLD was created to provide a safe and secure online space for people of faith to share their beliefs and connect with others around the world.

Who can register a .faith domain name?

Any individual, organization, or business can register a .faith domain name. This is a TLD for the faith of all types including but not limited to Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and more.

People of faith are diverse in their beliefs and anyone who has an important role within the faith community may find the .faith domain helpful.

How do sub-domains work with .faith?

Each subdomain of the .faith domain is tied to a country. For example, if your website exists in India and you want to include resources for other parts of the world (i.e., UK, US), you can register any combination of these sub-domains under one single registered .faith domain.

.faith –> country code –> .faith domain name

So if your main site is located in India and you want a sub-domain for your American followers, you will want to register:

com.faith –> US –> .faith domain name

In this case, the same .faith domain can be used across the entire website without requiring multiple domains or registrations. You can also choose to use country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) instead of the generic top-level domain (gTLD), but this is not required with a .faith registration.

Why do you need a .faith domain name?

There are many benefits to having one single registered .faith domain that extends across all of the countries where your organization operates rather than registering a separate domain for each country. These benefits include:

1. Easier website management – You only need to update your website content in one place and it will be automatically updated on all of the .faith domains that you own.

2. Global reach – Your website will be accessible from anywhere in the world with a .faith domain name and people of all faiths can connect with you.

3. Increased trust – Having a .faith domain name conveys a sense of authority and trustworthiness to visitors, helping them feel more confident in your site and its content.

4. Brand consistency – A .faith domain name helps to create a unified brand identity for your religious organization across all online channels.

What are the restrictions for .faith domain names?

The .faith TLD does not allow for offensive, derogatory, or negative content. The registry also reserves the right to deny applications if it violates any international laws or regulations including but not limited to indigenous rights.

The character restrictions for .faith domains are the same as with other new TLDs. The minimum requirement is a 1st level domain name with a minimum of 3 characters to a maximum of 63 characters.

All characters in a domain name must be in English letters and numbers only; hyphens cannot be used, but single quotes and apostrophes can be included if they appear in words or phrases (e.g., faithinhumanity.faith).
