Register a .institute domain
$60 a year, paid in crypto, with no identity attached and DNS included.
About .institute
Names a formal-sounding body, a research institute, training academy, think tank, or professional association, more deliberately than .edu, which in most countries is restricted to accredited academic institutions. Anyone can register it, so the institutional weight it implies is not independently verified.
Suits: Research institutes, training academies, and professional associations.
It is one of 15 education and training endings in the catalog.
What a .institute costs
$60 a year. One flat shelf price in dollars, drawn from your credit balance — there is no first-year discount that triples at renewal, and no fee for the privacy, because the name is registered in our name by default rather than as a paid extra.
The catalog lands on 5 price bands, and .institute sits in the $60 one alongside 122 other endings. 19 endings are cheaper and 246 cost more.
| Term | Price | Per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | $60 | $60 |
| 2 years | $120 | $60 |
| 3 years | $180 | $60 |
| 5 years | $300 | $60 |
| 10 years | $600 | $60 |
DNS on the name is included and never billed. This registry supports DNSSEC.
Registering a .institute anonymously
Offbook never asks who you are. Opening an account takes an email address you invent, a password and an invite code — no legal name, no address, no phone number, no card and no identity documents. Funding is crypto, so no bank or processor is in a position to demand them.
The .institute is then held in our name rather than yours, so the public record has nothing of yours to show. You keep operational control of the name — DNS, renewals and where it points — from the desk or through the API. Read more on anonymous domain registration.
If .institute is taken
Nothing cheaper in this category
.institute is the least expensive education ending we sell. The full catalog is sorted by price if you want to go lower still.
Similar endings at a similar price
Nothing on file. Nothing to leak.
An email you invent, an invite code, and crypto. That is the entire relationship.
