engineer-domain

An engineer is a professional who works in the broad field of engineering. By studying at a technical college or university, an engineer acquires his academic title. In the course of the European Bologna Process, there are no longer engineers in Germany, but the Bachelor of Scienc or the Bachelor of Engineering. Nevertheless, engineer is a designation that is still common and frequently used today. There are a number of independent engineers who are also present on the WWW. To emphasize once again what kind of education they have, engineers or even engineering companies can use the domain specifically for this profession or industry group, namely .engineer. This is a generic top-level domain. Thus, already in the domain name, an independent engineer or an engineering office signals its own competence.

Allocation

The allocation of the top-level domain .engineer is administered by the Rightside Registry, which is based in Kirkland in the US state of Washington, USA. In order to be able to register such a domain, the interested party should know that he must prove to the Rightside Registry that he has a corresponding academic title. The proof is usually provided by the degree or also by the identity card, which can be presented to prove that one actually holds such an academic title.

Use and meaning

Especially for engineers it is often not easy to shine with their academic title, because the general perception is still that it is quite easy to get an engineering title. Behind this, however, is an often hard study full of hardships. With the top-level domain .engineer it is then easy to prove to others that such a title exists, since the hurdle in the registration process must first be cleared by proving to the registrar that such a domain can legitimately be acquired at all. For this reason, the importance of the domain extension is very important, especially for engineers looking for orders.
