01. What is a .tools domain?
A .tools domain is a generic top-level domain suited to physical tools, software utilities, and practical resources. It provides a relevant web address for retailers, manufacturers, developers, and creators offering tools that help people complete tasks.
02. Who can register a .tools domain?
Individuals, businesses, and organisations can register an available .tools domain. You do not generally need to sell hardware or operate a software business. Standard registry policies, trademark rights, and applicable laws still apply.
03. What types of websites suit a .tools domain?
A .tools domain suits hardware stores, workshop equipment catalogues, developer utilities, and online calculators. It can also work for design tools, productivity applications, tool comparison websites, and directories of practical resources.
04. Who operates the .tools registry?
The .tools registry operator is Binky Moon, LLC, part of Identity Digital. IANA lists Identity Digital's website as the registry information website for this extension.
05. Can I use a .tools domain for a free online utility?
Yes. A .tools domain can host a free calculator, text formatter, code utility, image tool, or similar application. You can use it for a single tool or a collection of utilities. Explain what each tool does, provide examples, and make any usage limits clear.
06. How long can I register a .tools domain for?
A .tools domain can generally be registered for 1 to 10 years. Available terms depend on your registrar, and the domain's remaining registration term cannot exceed the registry's 10-year maximum.
07. Does .tools support internationalized domain names?
Yes. The .tools extension supports internationalized domain names using characters permitted by its registry IDN tables. Supported languages and character combinations depend on registry rules and your registrar's implementation. Check that your preferred name is supported before registering.
08. Is WHOIS privacy allowed for .tools domains?
Yes. WHOIS privacy is supported for .tools domains. Availability, eligibility, and any charges depend on your registrar and its service terms. Check the current Gatehills offering to confirm what is included with your registration.
09. Can I transfer my .tools domain to Gatehills?
An eligible .tools domain can generally be transferred using an authorisation code after the domain is unlocked and applicable transfer restrictions are cleared. Check Gatehills for current transfer availability and pricing. A successful transfer normally adds one year to the registration term, subject to transfer rules and the 10-year maximum.
10. Does a .tools domain include software or website hosting?
A .tools domain provides your website address. Hosting a web application or publishing a product catalogue requires additional hosting or a suitable website platform. Software, computing resources, and third-party integrations are separate unless your selected package explicitly includes them.
11. Is a .tools domain good for SEO?
A .tools domain can communicate your website's purpose to visitors, but the extension itself does not provide an automatic Google ranking advantage. Publish useful instructions, original examples, accurate product information, and clear descriptions that explain what your tools do and who they help.
12. Can I use a .tools domain for business email?
Yes. You can use a .tools domain for email addresses such as [email protected] or [email protected]. You will need an email service and the appropriate DNS records. Email hosting is separate unless it is explicitly included in your selected package.
13. What happens if my .tools domain expires?
The registry provides a 45-day auto-renew grace period, but your registrar may set an earlier renewal deadline. Following deletion, an eligible domain may enter a 30-day redemption period, when restoration usually requires an additional fee. A final 5-day Pending Delete period follows, during which restoration is unavailable. Renew before expiry to avoid disruption.
