.study Domain Registrationfrom £60.78/yr
Why Choose a .study Domain?
The .study extension launched in 2014 as part of ICANN's new gTLD programme and was created specifically for the education sector — tutors, language schools, exam prep services, online courses and academic resources. Unlike broader extensions like .com or .net, the keyword sits right in the address, telling visitors immediately that the site exists to help them learn something. It pairs naturally with verbs and subjects, making URLs like learnspanish.study or maths.study read as instructions rather than brand names.
Ideal for:
- Private tutors and tutoring agencies
- Language schools and exam prep services (IELTS, SAT, GCSE)
- Online course creators and e-learning platforms
- University study guides and revision sites
- Educational YouTubers and content creators
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .study domain. You don't need to be an accredited educational institution.
- The registry is Registry Services, LLC (a subsidiary of XYZ.com), the same operator behind .xyz and .college.
- Some short, dictionary-word .study domains are flagged as premium by the registry and carry a higher annual fee — these are clearly marked at checkout.

Frequently asked questions about .study
Anyone. The .study extension is unrestricted, so individuals, tutors, schools, course creators and businesses can all register one without needing to prove any educational accreditation or affiliation. You don't have to be a registered teacher or institution, and there are no geographic restrictions either.
You can register a .study domain for any term between one and ten years at initial registration, and renew in the same range. Many people pick a longer term up front to lock in the name, avoid annual renewal admin and protect against any future price changes from the registry.
Yes. As long as your domain is at least 60 days old and not within 60 days of a previous transfer, you can move it across. You'll need to unlock the domain at your current registrar and obtain the EPP authorisation code, then start the transfer with us. The transfer adds a year to your registration.
Yes. The registry classifies a portion of short, generic or high-demand .study names as premium, which carries a higher annual fee that applies to renewals as well as the first year. Standard names register at the regular rate. Premium status is shown clearly during the search before you commit to buying.
After the expiry date there's a grace period of around 30 days where you can renew at the normal price. After that it enters a redemption period of roughly 30 days where recovery is possible but costs significantly more. If you still don't renew, the name is released back to the public pool and anyone can register it.
