Is .associates right for your idea?
Avoid repeating the word
If the trading name already ends in associates, compare using that word as the domain ending rather than typing it twice.
Explain the business relationship
The name does not tell visitors whether people are employees, partners or independent collaborators. Describe the actual arrangement where it matters to clients.

About this extension
The story behind .associates
- Domain family
- Generic top-level domain
- Registry operator
- Identity Digital
Identity Digital is responsible for this domain registry. Registration through UK Cheapest and the website or email service you connect are separate parts of using the name. IANA: .associates registry record (opens in a new tab)
How .associates fits into the domain system
IANA’s .associates registry record dates from April 2014. It identifies Identity Digital as the registry operator. A generic ending using the word associates. This is the registry-record date, rather than a claimed public launch date.
Background checked 6 September 2026 against the sources linked above.

Questions about .associates domains
Does .associates create a partnership?
No. A domain registration does not establish a business relationship or legal structure.
Can it suit a consultancy?
Yes, the collaborative wording can fit an advisory team. Explain the particular work on the website.
Is the singular the same domain?
No. Different endings and spellings are separate names; search the exact address you intend to use.
What happens after I find a domain?
Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.
Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?
No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
