Frequently asked questions about the .BOX domain
Why does .box work on both DNS and blockchain?
Intercap Registry designed .box to integrate two technologies: the internet's traditional DNS and the Ethereum Name Service (ENS), the naming system of the blockchain ecosystem, allowing the same domain to work in both contexts.
Was .box originally a brand domain for Box Inc.?
Yes. It was delegated in 2016 to NS1 Limited for the exclusive use of Box Inc., the cloud storage company. After several ownership changes, Intercap Registry relaunched it to the general public in January 2024.
Can anyone register a .box domain today?
Yes, since its public relaunch in January 2024 it is open to general registration, though as a very recent extension its adoption and availability of premium names are still evolving.
How much does a .box domain cost?
Being a very recently launched extension, reference pricing is still settling across registrars. Contact our team to confirm current availability and price.
Do I need a cryptocurrency wallet to use a .box domain?
Not necessarily for traditional DNS use (like a normal website), but its ENS compatibility allows linking it to blockchain functions if the project requires it.
Can I transfer my .box domain to miHosting?
Yes, for traditional DNS use. The transfer has no additional cost in most cases. You need the authorisation code (Auth Code) from your current registrar.
