Is .church right for your idea?
Maintain information through team changes
Arrange access and renewal responsibilities so the website does not depend on one departing volunteer. Keep the registration with the appropriate organisation or holder.
Publish community details thoughtfully
Get appropriate permission for photos and avoid exposing private information about members. Use suitable channels for pastoral or sensitive enquiries.

About this extension
The story behind .church
- 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: .church registry record (opens in a new tab)
How .church fits into the domain system
IANA’s .church registry record dates from May 2014. It identifies Identity Digital as the registry operator. A generic ending naming church. 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 .church domains
Does .church certify a religious organisation?
No. The domain does not establish status or affiliation. The website should identify the community accurately.
Can it support a local congregation?
Yes. Service times, directions and a contact route can make a small site useful.
Is it the same as .org?
No. They are separate domain spaces with different wording and prices.
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.
