Make the project's status clear
An independent archive should identify itself as independent. A generic domain does not prove a connection to a navy or public authority.

A maritime-service theme for history and community.

Questions about .navy domains
Is .navy restricted to official naval websites?
It is offered through standard generic-domain registration. The ending does not confer official status; describe any real affiliation accurately.
Which .navy registration periods can I choose?
Standard .navy registrations are available for 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 years. Term prices are full upfront charges. Confirm your term and renewal price at order review.
Can I use .navy with my existing website?
Yes, if your website provider supports a custom domain. Follow its DNS connection instructions. Registration and any paid website service are separate.
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.
