How can I buy .edu domain.

I want to build a site about education and I need .edu domain. How can I buy .edu domain.

 

Start a college

 

well, many places can offer you dot edu, maybe what you need to consider is the price.

 

@TradeManager: can you tell me some place that you said.

 

No such place. To get an *.edu domain, you have to be an accredited postsecondary institutions and organizations that are accredited by nationally recognized accrediting agencies. A site about education isn;t going to qualify.

Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.edu

 

theapparatus is 100% correct.

 

Wrong. Start a college/university and then get accreditation from the government... and then perhaps.

OP: long story short, you cant

 

i got it, college/university first, then dot edu,right ?

 

You need to get letter from your country higher learning department then sent the approved letter to domain registrar.
Then you can only get a .edu domain.

 

wow, it's so complicated to get a dot edu domain.

 

there is only one place from where you can register it and it is educause.edu thanks

 

Are you sure dot edu can be registered so easily ?

 

Yup, but please see step two:

There are a few grandfathered non institutions out there with *.edu's but I'm sure they're holding onto those.

 

@ theapparatus is it?

But I think you need to run an institute to get .edu domains.. its not available for the public!!

 

only qualified educational trusts/institutes can have that tld. its not available for public registration

 

You cant get a .edu only because you want to create an educational site
Simply you cant get one
Better buy a .com domain and try to get .edu backlinks

 

i want to have a .gov domain

 

I know you;re being funny but just to keep the thread topic intact:
