.academy is a generic top level domain that is not specific to a country.

This generic domain extension was introduced by ICCANN in 2013. It is aimed at all public and private institutions that offer training and education. It can also be registered by any private individual who wants to share their knowledge with other people. Research and educational institutions worldwide also benefit from this globally understandable domain extension. Teachers, schools, universities and other educational institutions worldwide will benefit from this strong signal domain extension. The generic domain extension sets a clear signal for the importance of the offered service.

This generic TLD .academy also enables the creation of easy-to-remember, short internet names and web addresses. Many domain names with this extension are also not yet occupied, so the chances of registering the desired name are good. If the desired name with the country-specific domain extension is already taken, this generic domain extension is an alternative.

A huge advantage of this generic domain extension is that it is a meaningful term that matches the keyword and page topic.

The use of the domain extension .academy is also found easier and faster by Google and other search engines. By choosing this domain extension, the traffic for the homepage can be increased in a targeted manner. Search engine optimizers also assume a higher conversion rate, because the page was specifically visited by users. It is also likely that users will visit the site again in the future because they can easily remember the web name with this good-sounding generic domain extension.

Another advantage is that users who register this domain extension are not bound to a geographical region, a specific country or a national language. The service education can be offered to interested parties around the globe. Compared to country code TLDs, the allocation rules are much less strict.

Registering the .academy domain extension provides website operators with the imperative protection against malicious phishing tactics, domain and brand fraud. Since such cyber attacks have been steadily increasing for years, securing the domain name is essential to ensure that no one can harm a business or brand.

Legal restrictions regarding the allocation of this generic TLD do not exist. The domain extension may be registered and used by any natural or legal person worldwide for private or commercial use.
