A .center domain is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) designed for organizations, businesses, and communities that serve as central hubs. It's perfect for community centers, educational resources, wellness facilities, geographic focal points, innovation hubs, and any entity positioning itself as a core gathering space or information source. The extension clearly communicates your role as a central point in your field or community, and differentiates itself from the .com domain.

Anyone can register .center domains—there are no eligibility restrictions or special requirements. Even if you're an individual, business, nonprofit organization, educational institution, or government entity anywhere in the world, you're welcome to buy .center domains. The domain is completely open for public registration through accredited registrars such as HostPapa, so find your domain today!

Transferring your .center domain is fast and automated: First, unlock your domain at your current registrar and obtain your authorization code (EPP code). Then, initiate the transfer with your new registrar by providing the domain name and authorization code. Finally, approve the transfer via the confirmation email sent to your registered contact address. The process typically completes within 5-7 days, with zero downtime if DNS settings are properly maintained. Upon successful transfer, your domain automatically extends by one year. The complete process of transferring your domain to HostPapa is mentioned in our Knowledge Base.

Yes, WHOIS privacy protection is included free for life with .center domain registrations at HostPapa and most reputable registrars. This service replaces your personal contact information in the public WHOIS database with anonymized details, shielding you from spam, unsolicited marketing, identity theft, and fraudulent contact attempts. You retain full ownership and control while keeping your name, address, phone number, and email private. Want to update your WHOIS information? Read how to do it via the support article on our Knowledge Base.

Yes, when you register .center domains, they fully support DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions). This critical security feature adds cryptographic signatures to your DNS records, protecting against DNS spoofing, cache poisoning, and man-in-the-middle attacks. DNSSEC validates that DNS responses are authentic and unaltered, ensuring visitors reach your legitimate site rather than a fraudulent imposter. HostPapa includes free DNSSEC when you buy a .center domain. Read more on how to enable DNSSEC for a domain on cPanel VPS here.

Absolutely. When you buy .center domain from HostPapa, it includes access to free Let's Encrypt SSL certificates. SSL certificates protect data transmitted between your site and users, improve search engine rankings, and meet modern security expectations. These industry-standard certificates enable HTTPS encryption, displaying the padlock icon in browsers and building visitor trust. Certificates auto-renew every 90 days at no cost.

The minimum registration period for .center domains is one year. You cannot register or renew for periods shorter than 12 months. This industry-standard minimum applies to all gTLDs and ensures consistent domain lifecycle management across registrars.

You can register .center domains for up to 10 years at a time. Multi-year registrations offer convenience, reduce renewal management, and eliminate the risk of forgetting to renew annually. Whether you choose 1, 5, or the full 10 years, you'll receive renewal reminders as your expiration date approaches. If you want to learn how to transfer your .center domain to HostPapa, you can read this thorough knowledge base article.

.Center domains include a renewal grace period after expiration. During this window, you can renew at standard rates without additional penalties, though your website and email services will be offline. Read more on domain name expiration in this Knowledge Base article.
