Learning starts with a clear address
Register a .courses Domain From 1.75 USD
Focused. Practical. Yours.
An Address Built for Structured Learning.
Imagine the name that appears on enrolment emails, course catalogues and student dashboards. .courses places that name under an extension designed for education and training. For a provider such as skillpath.courses, it brings enquiries, enrolments and returning learners to one consistent destination.
- Begin with a name learners recognise. Use your programme or brand title, or a clear variation, instead of a long profile link.
- Make the purpose obvious. Training providers and independent tutors can both use .courses on marketing materials and digital channels.
- Leave room to expand. Start with a simple landing page; add catalogues, payment flows or member areas later without changing the core address.

Match the ending to your learners
.courses, .academy or .com?
Who will visit most often? A specialist training provider, a broader educational brand and an international platform may favour different suffixes. Weigh audience against availability and long-term cost.

After the name is secured
.courses Domain Management, Kept Simple
Once registered, the address needs clear instructions for visitors and messages. Use the account tools to keep those connections current, monitor the registration and prepare for any future move.
DNS management
Enter the records supplied by your website platform. Confirm the target carefully before overwriting an existing entry.
Nameserver control
Prefer another provider’s DNS? Apply its nameservers so that provider answers queries for the address.
Renewal management
Note the registration end date early enough to arrange payment and keep the public-facing name active.
Transfer support
Request guidance on shifting registrar responsibility, including the steps the registry expects.

Renewal cost appears separately, so you can plan beyond any introductory registration rate.
Free DNS management
Update website targets and verification records without purchasing a separate DNS-management product.
Free email forwarding
A forwarder sends incoming messages to an inbox you already use; it does not replace a full hosted mailbox.
2FA and domain lock
Enable two-factor authentication and available domain locks to reduce the chance of unauthorised account or transfer activity.
Free business email
A no-cost mailbox option is planned. Until it arrives, choose a suitable paid service if your organisation needs one now.
Free website builder
A free builder is also on the roadmap; do not treat it as available when budgeting for a site you need today.
Not available yet: the roadmap items above form no part of the current purchase. They should not be counted as included email hosting or an included website-building plan.
Connect the learner journey
How to Put Your .courses Domain to Work
A prospective student may first find your catalogue online, send a question and later complete enrolment. Each step can share the same identity. Apply each service’s DNS requirements; different providers can still operate behind one domain.
- Invite people to explore the catalogue at skillpath.courses.
- Receive questions via [email protected].
- Offer dedicated spaces such as enrol.skillpath.courses and members.skillpath.courses.

.courses Domain Name Rules
Write the exact spelling before you search. The label to the left of .courses must follow the registry’s format rules, and a correctly formed spelling can still be reserved or already held by someone else.

Gather the details you will need
Your .courses Registration Checklist
Individuals, training providers and organisations may apply for .courses. No educational licence or institutional status is required. Provide accurate details for the person or body that will hold the registration.
Information you need
What registration does not supply
Before you register
Check related endings
Think about how someone who hears your programme name might type it. Search any important variation before printing an address you may later want to change.
Review existing rights
A successful availability check is not a trade-mark clearance. Look at existing providers and relevant rights before adopting a name for public use.
Use a lasting email address
Select an inbox you can still reach even if this domain later becomes unavailable. That simplifies registration queries and urgent account notices.

Protect a working address
What Happens If .courses Expires?
An expired address can interrupt more than a website: enrolment forms, password resets and learner messages may all depend on it. Arrange renewal before the end date. The registry’s recovery window is a final chance, not a planned renewal method.
Active
Confirm that payment arrangements and contact details remain usable while the registration is current.
Renewal Due
The displayed renewal charge is TSh 129,766. Complete payment early, especially if approval from another person is required.
Expired
During the initial grace window after expiry the address may still resolve. Act at once rather than treating continued service as proof of renewal.
Recovery window
Once suspension begins, connected services stop. Recovery may still be possible for a limited time and can involve extra fees.
Cancelled
After the recovery window closes the unrenewed name is scheduled for release. Another party may then register it; recovery is no longer assured.

Questions before you decide
.courses Domain FAQs
Practical answers for training providers and educational platforms choosing an address, connecting services or moving an existing registration.
Is .courses limited to accredited institutions?
No. Any individual or organisation may hold a .courses registration. There is no requirement to hold an educational licence or institutional status. The applicant must still supply accurate details and meet the registry’s terms.
Does the first-year price continue every year?
Not necessarily. The registration figure is 1.75 USD; the separate renewal figure is TSh 129,766. Plan ongoing costs from the renewal amount and review the payable total before each order.
Does .courses improve search rankings?
No ending guarantees a ranking position. Choose an address that fits your learners, then focus on useful content, a usable website and a clear description of the programmes. The domain should support that work, not replace it.
Can I register the name before the website is finished?
Yes. You can secure an available registration while the site is still being planned. Keep contact details and renewal arrangements up to date, and connect hosting when you have pages ready to publish.
Does registration include a working email inbox?
No hosted mailbox is created simply by registering an address. Choose a mailbox product if you need to send and receive learner email; a forwarding feature serves a different purpose and routes messages into an existing inbox.
Must website and email use the same provider?
No. Your website can use one compatible platform and your mail another. Apply each provider’s DNS instructions carefully so a website change does not unintentionally interrupt incoming messages.
Can I keep .courses indefinitely?
You can retain the registration by renewing it while eligible and complying with the applicable terms. It is not a one-time permanent purchase. The registry allows durations up to ten years; the options offered in your order appear at checkout.
What if my preferred programme name is already taken?
Try a clear, relevant variation that people can remember, or consider a different ending. Avoid a confusing imitation of another provider. Do not assume that an inactive-looking website means the registration is available to buy.
Should a matching .academy point to the same website?
If you control both registrations, you can choose a primary address and configure the other to redirect there. Buying .courses does not automatically give you .academy; check and acquire the matching registration separately if it matters to your brand.
Why must registration details stay accurate?
The registry or registrar may need to contact you about the registration. Outdated details can make validation, account recovery and urgent notices harder to handle. Update them when your organisation moves, changes leadership or replaces its contact inbox.
Is transferring a .courses domain the same as moving hosting?
No. A registrar transfer changes who administers the registration. Website files, databases and mailboxes may remain where they are. If you also want new hosting, plan that migration separately and coordinate any DNS changes.
Can I recover a .courses after services stop?
Possibly, if the registration is still inside the registry’s recovery window. Contact the registrar promptly once expiry is noticed; once the name is fully released, recovery is no longer guaranteed and another party may register it.
