IANA’s .education registry record dates from December 2013. It identifies Identity Digital as the registry operator. A generic ending naming education. This is the registry-record date, rather than a claimed public launch date.

Questions about .education domains
Is .education the same as .edu?
No. They are separate domain spaces with different policies. This page offers .education.
Can a resource project use it?
The educational theme can fit, with clear information about the publisher.
Does it include teaching software?
No. Connect the website or learning platform suited to the project.
What happens after I find a domain?
Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.
Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?
No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
