The .museum-domain is an exclusive domain.It is open for registration by
museums, organization of museums and friends of museums.The notion of museum
is understood very generous, e.g. a zoological or botanical garden belongs
to it. A proof to be a museum is necessary for registering museum-domains.




You will get your eligibility to register .museum-domains not anymore only
at MUSEDOMA, but you can order the ENS ID and Confidential Key at Secura at
the registering of your first domain.






New Policy


The museum domains have a new naming policy . In former times the
museum-domains had to have a third-level-structure in the form specific.
generic.museum. It was e.g. not possible to register munic.museum. The
three-level-domains are persisting, but you can also register second level
domains like guggenheim.museum. It is important, that the second level
domain is derived directly from the official name of the museum.


The managers of digital museums can register at .museum or at virtual.
museum, digital.museum, online.museum or cyber.museum - even at all second
levels.

say about what names to buy:


"As we've frequently reported in our SE Book & Newsletter, placing keywords
right in your domain name can give your site a major boost on search
engines. We've also reported that some engines are no longer accepting
sub-directory pages. This is one of the reasons the smart marketing pros
have been buying keyword-phrase domain names. They use them as doorway pages
to boost traffic to their sites." says Stephen Mahaney, author of The Unfair
Advantage Book on Winning the Search Engine Wars. Michael Campbell points
out, in Nothing But 'Net, "The reason we want keywords in the domain name is
that search engines often get 'tuned' to find, and give better positioning
to, domains with keywords in them." Declan Dunn, author of Winning the
Affiliate Game, sent out a memo to his affiliates advising "To get on top of
the search engines, one of the critical keys is a good domain name LOADED
with keywords." Declan goes on to say "This news is spreading among
WebMasters, SearchEngine Meisters, Internet marketers, and big corporations.
Don't wait."
