What is .investments?

A .investments domain is for investment advisers, funds, property investment firms and finance blogs. A quick fact: This extension was added to the root zone as part of the new gTLD program.

There is no eligibility barrier for .investments. Anyone can register a .investments domain. Financial rules in your own country still apply to what you publish. Pay in PKR, add your nameservers and you are online.

Here is how it looks in real life. A Karachi brokerage house can explain mutual fund and stock options on a .investments site.

You can register .investments for 1 to 10 years at a time. Renew before the expiry date to keep your website and email running. If it expires, there is a redemption window of about 30 days, but the restore fee is higher than a normal renewal.

Moving .investments to DomainWalay is simple. Unlock the domain at your current provider, get the auth code (also called EPP code), and start the transfer here. New registrations and recent transfers have a 60 day lock. Most transfers finish in 5 to 7 days.

Renewal

Renew .investments any time before expiry. Auto renew is available in the client area. After expiry there is a grace period of about 30 days where renewal is still at the normal price, but the website may stop working.

A .investments name goes through these stages: Active for the paid term, then Expired with a grace period of about 30 days, then Redemption for about 30 days, then Pending delete, then released.
