Questions about .science domains
Does .science mean a site is peer reviewed?
No. Review and publication standards depend on the actual publisher.
Can it suit an educational project?
Yes. State the audience and use reliable sources appropriate to the material.
Does it include research tools?
No. Domain registration provides an address, not scientific software or databases.
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.
