Note: You TEDx website must only be used for the purposes of promoting your TEDx event. Domain acquisition You aren’t required to purchase a domain name, but we strongly encourage it. (A domain name will make your site more findable.) Whether you decide to buy web hosting from a paid service or opt for a free hosting account is up to you. However, we do not permit any TEDx site to run advertising, so be sure that your hosting service does not require you to do so. Your site's URL: The URL of your website's homepage should be the name of your TEDx event, eg TEDxTokyo.com. Ownership of your domain name: When you purchase your TEDx[name] domain name, you are entitled to keep the domain name as long as you are the TEDx licensee whose TEDx event's name corresponds exactly to the domain name in question, ie, as long as you are the licensee in charge of TEDxAcme, you may keep the domain name www.tedxacme.com. However, you may only own the domain name that corresponds to your own event; you may not register domain names corresponding to other TEDx events — including prospective events that have not yet been licensed -- without permission from TED. (In other words, you may not squat in domain names for potential TEDx events if you are not already the licensee, even if you intend to transfer ownership, or intend to apply for a license for the event at a later point.) If, for any reason, you decide not to renew your TEDx license after your TEDx event, or TED does not renew your
