About this extension
The story behind .build
- Domain family
- Generic top-level domain
- Registry operator
- Plan Bee LLC
Plan Bee LLC 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: .build registry record (opens in a new tab)
How .build fits into the domain system
IANA’s .build registry record dates from January 2014. It identifies Plan Bee LLC as the registry operator. A generic ending using the verb build. 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 .build domains
Is .build only for construction?
Its wording is broader. Make the actual project and role clear on the website.
Does it include a site builder?
No. The domain name does not supply construction or website-building software.
How does it compare with .builders?
Build is a verb; builders names people or a trade. Compare the complete phrase with your intended identity.
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.
