About

Originally open to educational institutions worldwide, .edu was restricted in 2001 to US-accredited post-secondary institutions. It is one of the most trusted TLDs and is managed by Educause. Institutions outside the US typically use their country-code TLD with a second-level .edu domain (e.g., .edu.au).
