Is .cards right for your idea?
Give buyers the practical details
For printed cards, include dimensions, materials and whether envelopes are supplied. For collectable cards, describe condition carefully and use photographs that show what the buyer will receive.
Make a collection useful to explore
Organise cards by occasion, series or another meaningful grouping. If the site is an enthusiast collection rather than a shop, say so before visitors look for a purchase button.

Questions about .cards domains
Does .cards mean credit cards?
Not necessarily. The word has several uses, so your page should establish the subject clearly. A domain registration does not provide payment-card services or financial authorisation.
Which .cards registration periods can I choose?
Standard .cards registrations are available for 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 years. Displayed term prices are full upfront charges. Confirm your term and renewal price at order review.
Can I connect a .cards domain to an existing website?
Yes, if the website service supports a custom domain. Follow that service’s DNS instructions. Domain 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.
