You can purchase a .golf domain through a domain registrar, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truehost.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Truehost<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.godaddy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GoDaddy<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.namecheap.com\/\">Nam<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.namecheap.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">e<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.namecheap.com\/\">cheap<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The registration process typically involves choosing a domain name, selecting a registration period, and providing contact information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Registration Restrictions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Domain Length: <\/strong>Minimum length: 3 characters, maximum length: 63 characters<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Allowed Characters: <\/strong>Letters (a-z), Numbers (0-9), and Hyphens (-).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Not Allowed Characters: <\/strong>Spaces, Underscores (_), and Other special characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other Restrictions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Domain names must start with a letter or number.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/truehost.com\/support\/domain-name-registrations-kenya\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Domain names<\/a> cannot end with a hyphen.<\/li><li>Consecutive hyphens are not allowed.<\/li><li>Domain names cannot contain dictionary words followed by a hyphen.<\/li><li>Domain names cannot be identical to existing trademarks or violate any third-party rights.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Costs:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The registration cost for a .golf domain varies depending on the registrar.
