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.
Your training brand, brought to life with a .courses domain Skillpath.courses above an illustrative website with layered scenery and a [email protected] email card. One name for a website, email, catalogue and portal. skillpath.courses Your name. Your learning identity. SKILLPATH AboutCatalogueEnrolContact Structuredlearning.

Ways the address can support you

A .courses Domain for the Programmes You Deliver

A domain becomes valuable when people actually use it. These examples show how one address can support a public catalogue, enrolment flow or growing training brand.

Find Your .courses

Programme Delivery

Make Your Catalogue Easy to Reach

Offer one consistent address for course lists, schedules and first contact.

Online Enrolment

Open Registration Online

Link the domain to payment, onboarding and resources, then print it on leaflets and certificates.

Coaching & Workshops

Help People Locate the Right Programme

Share dates, outlines and group details without relying solely on social feeds.

Name Consistency

Cover the Ways People Search for You

When both spellings are free, register .courses and a matching educational ending, then point one to the other.

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.

Day-to-day administration

Why Manage Your .courses Domain with Truehost?

Securing the name is the first step. These account features help you connect services, handle messages and keep reliable access to the address your learners rely on.

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.

Coming soon

Free business email

A no-cost mailbox option is planned. Until it arrives, choose a suitable paid service if your organisation needs one now.

Coming soon

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.

Confirm the spelling first

.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.

Accepted in a .courses name

  • Plain English letters without accent marks
  • Digits, including any that form part of your programme name
  • A hyphen between words, never at the start or end
  • Combinations such as skill-path24

Not accepted

  • Beginning or ending the label with a hyphen
  • Spaces, underscores or other symbols
  • Characters that require internationalised-domain encoding in restricted contexts
  • Reserved spellings and names already held by others
Check Sample Spellings

skillpath.coursesValid spellingUses only permitted characters

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

  • The legal holder’s full personal or organisational identity
  • An inbox that will receive registration notices
  • Correct contact and postal information for the holder
  • Your chosen spelling, already checked against the permitted format

What registration does not supply

  • Official accreditation or educational licence
  • Exclusive legal rights to a programme or trading name
  • Hosted mailboxes or web hosting as part of the name alone
  • A permanent registration with no future payments

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.

01Resolving

Active

Confirm that payment arrangements and contact details remain usable while the registration is current.

02Action due

Renewal Due

The displayed renewal charge is TSh 129,766. Complete payment early, especially if approval from another person is required.

03Grace period

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.

04Redemption

Recovery window

Once suspension begins, connected services stop. Recovery may still be possible for a limited time and can involve extra fees.

05Released

Cancelled

After the recovery window closes the unrenewed name is scheduled for release. Another party may then register it; recovery is no longer assured.

Change registrar without renaming

Already Hold a .courses Domain?

You can switch the registrar without selecting a new learning address. Prepare account access and DNS details first, then follow the standard transfer process. Registrar transfer and website migration remain separate tasks.

Transfer — TSh 102,076
  1. 01

    Prepare account access

    Locate the current registrar login and confirm who is authorised to request changes. Keep a record of the working DNS configuration.

  2. 02

    Start the receiving order

    Begin a Truehost transfer for the exact .courses spelling and obtain the instructions for accepting it.

  3. 03

    Finish the transfer steps

    Follow the authorisation process from the current registrar and Truehost. Confirm that existing website and mail destinations remain correct after the handover.

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.
