Identify the city and scope
Visitors should know which place and subjects the site covers. A focused guide to neighbourhoods or activities may be more useful than an undefined promise to cover everything.

Is .city right for your idea?
Keep local details current
Review opening times, transport details and event information when they change. Give readers a way to report an error.
Distinguish independent from official
Use clear publisher and contact information. A .city address does not make a site a council or official visitor service.

About this extension
The story behind .city
- 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: .city registry record (opens in a new tab)
How .city fits into the domain system
IANA’s .city registry record dates from July 2014. It identifies Identity Digital as the registry operator. A generic ending using the word city. 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 .city domains
Is .city tied to one particular city?
No. The word is generic; the chosen name and website identify the place.
Does it imply local-government status?
No. Explain who operates the site and avoid implying official status you do not have.
Can a business use .city?
It can fit a place-focused brand. Make the actual service and location clear.
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.
