Register a .com domain
The one people type without thinking.
To register
£16.99
first year
To renew
£16.99
every year after
No introductory rate, so the renewal is not a surprise. Priced live, and inclusive.
Who a .com suits
Any business that sells beyond the UK, or expects to one day.
- It is the ending people guess when they half remember a name, which is worth more than it sounds.
- It travels: nothing about it says which country you are in, so it never has to be explained abroad.
- It is the safest default if you are not sure yet what the business will become.
The honest drawback
The good short names went decades ago. Expect to be inventive, or to pay a resale price for anything obvious.
Who can register one
Open to anyone, anywhere. No paperwork, no residency test. The registry behind .com is Verisign.
What a .com renewal costs elsewhere
Ongoing renewal prices, not first-year offers. Including VAT.
