The .design extension arrived in 2015 for designers, studios and product teams. Unlike many new extensions it keeps its price deliberately high: an expensive entry discourages bulk speculative registration, which leaves more meaningful names available.
Registration is open to everyone. The address reads well in a portfolio and next to published work, and a name like surname.design removes the need to invent a compound title.
| Who can register | Open to everyone, no documents required. |
| Registration term | 1 to 10 years |
| Non-Latin characters | Not supported, Latin letters and digits only |
| WHOIS privacy | Included at no extra cost wherever the registry permits it |
| Transfer lock | Sixty days after registration or after a change of registrant, a rule set by the registry |
| Grace period | About thirty days after expiry when renewal still costs the normal price |
