The purpose of the new .university domain is to provide a platform dedicated to universities, campuses, education and the specialisation to prepare for the work sector.
The new .university extension will deal with topics related to faculties, subjects to major in, lesson hours, exams and other information and knowledge that has to do with university education.

The Sunrise of .university domain is a limited period of time during which holders of trademarks may preregister names that are the same or similar to their trademark in a privileged way and at an additional cost before it is sold to the public.
To participate in the Sunrise phase of the .universitydomain, the trademark must be validated by a third party designated by ICANN: the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH).
Dominiando is an official TMCH agent and can, therefore, carry out brand validation procedures of the trademark on your behalf.
This validation is mandatory to participate in the Sunrise of all new domains and the same validation can be reused for registration during the Sunrise periods of all extensions that allow it.
More than one request for the same .university domain name will be settled by an auction between the contenders, trademark holders.
