.com Domain Names
.com domain names, and the registration carries only your name
Since 1985 this ending has sat in the root, and it remains what fingers produce when somebody half-remembers who you are. Is the .com of your brand still unclaimed? Claim it before anything else on the list. Register from $11.99/yr, and the renewal figure appears on screen before payment.

Why .com?
Put someone on the spot about a web address and .com arrives before they have thought about it. Nobody is asked where they live. No eligibility test blocks the way either, and four decades of habit push in one direction: address bars finish the string for you, buyers assume it, and the aftermarket pays more for it than for any rival ending. So our advice runs the same way each time. Check the .com first, even where the plan is to build the site on something quite different. Owning the guess the public will make about your brand remains the least expensive defence anybody ever paid for.
Minute one, and the registration already answers to you rather than to us. Nothing in domains comes closer to a title deed than the registrant record, and the only name printed there should be yours. We switch WHOIS privacy on and never bill for it. Next year's figure stands next to today's before any money moves, and the delegation is yours to aim at whichever nameservers you fancy, on any network on earth, a competitor's included.
Good Fit
.com works best for
- Companies trading anywhere, with anyone, at whatever size they happen to be
- Brands spoken aloud in a room, then typed later from whatever anyone remembers
- A defensive registration held alongside your .io, your .dev or a country-code name
- Names you may want to sell on later, because no rival ending comes anywhere near this depth of aftermarket
With Every Name
Included with every domain
The registrant is you
At registration your details are what the record shows. Once the sixty-day registry lock lifts, an auth code carries the name anywhere you choose to send it.
Privacy included
Privacy goes on at registration and never appears on the invoice, keeping your personal contact details out of the public lookup and off the lists that scrapers sell on.
Renewal in view first
Before checkout arrives you have already seen what year two costs, sitting alongside what year one costs. Holding a name is an ongoing commitment, and we price it out loud as one.
Common Questions
Questions about .com
How quickly does a new .com start working?
Registry-side, the record shows up in moments. Everyone else takes longer to catch up. Aim the name at your nameservers and resolvers across the world will pick up the fresh answer as their caches expire. Take the name and the hosting in one order and we configure that delegation during checkout for you, after which the SSL certificate issues as soon as the name begins resolving.
Can I move a .com away later if I want to?
Yes. Having the record in your name is precisely what makes it possible. After any registration, and after an earlier transfer too, a sixty-day lock sits at the registry; clear of those windows, ask us for the auth code, pass it to whichever registrar is receiving the name, and whatever term remains goes along with it. Codes are released on request, and we ask nothing in return.
The .com I want is taken. What now?
Start in WHOIS. Expiry date and current registrar together tell you whether sitting it out, writing to the holder, or choosing another name altogether is the realistic option. Something else can carry the brand while you wait: a shortened form, a .net, a .co, or your national ending. Watch the .com in the background, for the year when nobody bothers to renew it.
