Who can register?

Choose with confidence
Is .best right for your idea?
Make relationships clear
Tell readers when a recommendation is sponsored or earns a commission. A useful selection explains its limits as well as its favourites.
Use a straightforward spelling
Our .best search accepts names of at least three characters. Avoid consecutive hyphens: the registry's naming policy does not allow them in ordinary ASCII names.

Questions about .best domains
Is .best a quality award?
No. It is a domain ending. Any claim that a product or service is best needs its own explanation and support.
Which .best registration periods can I choose?
Standard .best registrations are available for 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 years. Term prices are full upfront charges. Confirm your term and renewal price at order review.
Can I use .best with my existing website?
Yes, if your website provider supports a custom domain. Follow its DNS connection instructions. Registration and any paid website service are separate.
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.
