Domain Restrictions
Registration Policy Notice:
Registrars are required to display a notice to registrants stating the use restrictions for .new.
Sample text:
.new is a restricted domain space in which all domains must be used for action generation or online content creation flows. .new domains must be active within 100 days from the registration date. Domain names that do not comply with these requirements may be placed on ServerHold or deleted for non-compliance.
Sample text:
.new is a more secure domain, meaning that HTTPS is required for all .new websites. You can buy your .new domain name now, but in order for it to work properly in browsers you must first configure HTTPS serving. For more information about configuring HTTPS, including resources to obtain an SSL certificate, please visit [link to registrar page on SSL, or Let’s Encrypt]. [Follow by registrar option to add certificate to cart.]
Please note: The SSL requirement is enforced at the browser level, so there is no mandated order of purchase. The HSTS Preload list, to which .new is inscribed, only forces encryption on HTTPS connections, thus, .new domain names that do not have an SSL certificate configured may still be used for other services like e-mail and non-browser based uses such as defensive registrations.
