Specifications

Source: [4]

There are no limits to the number of .cloud domain names a person can register, and anyone can register one without any restrictions. In fact, it is not necessary to have a Cloud service to register a .cloud domain. Furthermore, the registration process is real-time and does not require any documentation, following the same procedure as for other extensions.

Domain names with the .cloud extension must be between 3 and 63 characters long. Specifically, allowed characters include all letters of the Latin alphabet (a-z), all numeric characters (0-9), and the hyphen (-). However, the hyphen cannot be the first or last character of the domain name.

A .cloud domain can be registered for any number of years, and the domain owner can associate any service offered by Aruba. Alternatively, it is also possible to register a .cloud domain without associating any additional hosting or other services. Additionally, the Whois Privacy service is available for .cloud domains. There are no additional fees or supplements required for the registration of a .cloud domain.
