    About .bible domain

    .bible is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) delegated under ICANN's New gTLD Program. The registry is operated by the .BIBLE TLD Registry, sponsored by the American Bible Society, and it entered general availability on March 8, 2016. As a product, it is intended to serve as a dedicated namespace for establishing a positive association with its namesake topic. The registry maintains specific policies, including an Acceptable Use Policy and a dedicated Community Dispute Resolution Policy (DCDRP) alongside the standard UDRP.

    Who can register .bible domain

    Registration for a .bible domain is open to the public; there are no geographic or organizational restrictions on who can register. However, all registrants must agree to and comply with the registry's Acceptable Use Policy, which governs the use of domains within this extension. The policy is designed to maintain the namespace's intended purpose and reputation. There are no mandatory verification steps for general registration, but the registry reserves audit rights to enforce its policies.

    How to register .bible domain

    1. Search for availability: Use a domain registrar's search tool to check if your desired .bible domain name is available. Consider searching for variations, as shorter or more common names may already be taken.
    2. Compare registrars: Review different accredited registrars offering .bible domains to compare pricing, registration term lengths (often 1-10 years), and included services like WHOIS privacy or email forwarding.
    3. Complete checkout: Add your chosen domain to the cart and proceed through the checkout process, providing accurate registrant contact information and selecting your desired registration period and any add-on services.
    4. Configure DNS: After purchase, access your registrar's control panel to configure DNS settings, such as A records or nameservers, to point your new .bible domain to your website or hosting service.

    Typical uses of .bible domain

    The .bible extension is commonly used by churches, ministries, religious organizations, publishers, and individuals who wish to create a clear and positive online association with the Bible. It serves as a dedicated space for sharing scripture, theological resources, devotional content, and community information. Registrants choose this TLD to signal their content's focus and to reach an audience specifically interested in biblical topics, differentiating their sites from more generic extensions like .com or .org.

    Tips for registering .bible domain

    • Registrants must adhere to the registry's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), which outlines prohibited uses; the registry conducts periodic audits to ensure compliance.
    • The registry operates a Community Dispute Resolution Policy (DCDRP) in addition to the standard UDRP, providing a specific mechanism for resolving disputes related to community interests.
    • WHOIS privacy services are typically available through registrars, but registrants must ensure their contact information remains accurate as per ICANN requirements.
    • Standard registration, renewal, and transfer processes apply, but it's advisable to check with your chosen registrar for specific details on grace periods and redemption policies.

    Who can register a .bible domain?

    Registration is open globally to any individual or entity. While there are no upfront eligibility checks, all registrants contractually agree to abide by the .bible Acceptable Use Policy upon registration. The registry may exercise its audit rights to review domain usage for compliance with this policy, which is designed to uphold the namespace's intended purpose.

    Can I transfer a .bible domain between registrars?

    .bible domains can be transferred between ICANN-accredited registrars following the standard inter-registrar transfer policy. You will need to obtain an authorization code (EPP code) from your current registrar and ensure the domain is unlocked and not within 60 days of initial registration or a previous transfer. The new registrar will initiate the transfer process once you provide the code.

    What is the Community Dispute Resolution Policy (DCDRP)?

    The DCDRP is a rights protection mechanism specific to the .bible namespace, operating alongside the standard UDRP. It allows members of the defined community or the registry itself to file a complaint against a domain name that they believe was registered or is being used in a manner inconsistent with the community's purposes. This process is designed to address misuse more directly than the broader UDRP.

    What happens if I violate the Acceptable Use Policy?

    If the registry determines, through its audit process, that a domain violates its Acceptable Use Policy, it can take corrective action. This typically involves notifying the registrant and their registrar of the violation. Failure to remedy the issue may result in the suspension or termination of the domain name registration, as outlined in the registry-registrar agreement.

    Can I register a .bible domain for commercial purposes?

    Yes, commercial use is permitted under the Acceptable Use Policy, provided the use maintains a positive association with the Bible. Businesses such as Christian bookstores, publishers, music labels, or event organizers can use .bible domains. The policy's focus is on the nature of the content and conduct, not prohibiting commercial activity outright.
