Are there any restrictions on names I can register in .coop?
Yes. Domain names in the .coop TLD should include only letters, numbers and dashes (-). Spaces and other special characters are not allowed.
Two-character names are initially reserved. Permission from the appropriate government and country code manager or the ISO 3166 maintenance agency is required for registration of these names in .coop. .coop will work with potential registrants to determine the availability of two-character names of interest.
Names that contain hyphens in positions 3 and 4 are also reserved for future support of IDN (International Domain Names.)
DotCoop also has certain names reserved based on requirements in our Charter from ICANN and to support the .coop Community Names program.
