Frequently asked questions about the .ARCHI domain
What verification does .archi require?
The .archi requires the registrant to prove they are a qualified architect or recognised architecture firm. Verification is carried out through the registry operator, which may request professional membership or official qualification documentation.
Does .archi have fixed registration and renewal pricing?
Yes. .archi maintains the same price of $79.99/year for both initial registration and renewals.
Can an architecture student register a .archi?
Generally no, as .archi requires an architecture qualification. Students may opt for .design or .studio while completing their training and apply for .archi once they obtain their qualification.
Does .archi rank well in Google for architecture searches?
Google treats .archi like any gTLD. However, the verification restriction adds an implicit layer of credibility: if Google processes professional authority signals, .archi with project content may have high semantic coherence.
Is .archi or .design better for an architecture firm?
.archi ($79.99) accredits that the holder is an architect — the restriction is the credential. .design ($24.99) is more affordable and unrestricted, but does not communicate the specificity of architecture. For architects wanting to communicate their qualification from the URL, .archi is the most powerful.
Can I transfer my .archi domain to miHosting?
Yes. The transfer has no additional cost. You need the authorisation code (Auth Code) from your current registrar and must maintain active qualification verification. The process takes 5 to 7 business days.
