JOBS Domain Name Registration
A .JOBS domain name may be Registered for 1 to 10 years.

The Registry retains the right to reserve domain names from registration eligibility. The Registry will not permit the validation of .JOBS registrations for names that fall into one of the four categories on the Reserved List Policy, outlined below.
The ability to secure a generic word in .JOBS is dependent upon the legal or commonly known company name of the Registrant. If the Registrant is not known by the name then the Registrant will not be able to register the name.
Additionally, various generic terms and identifiers, such as geographic names (major cities, countries, etc.), industry and occupational classifications, profane words and other terms of common interest to the HR Community are either Registry-reserve words or otherwise reserved from registration.
A .JOBS domain name has a 4 day Money Back Grace Period.
Upon Registering a .JOBS domain name, you may not Transfer-Away from PD Hosting, until 60 days.
.JOBS domain names do not support Internationalized Domain Names (IDN).
