A .cloud domain can describe a hosted application, managed service or cloud consultancy. Make the service recognisable while keeping the address independent of the infrastructure behind it.
.cloud names are offered subject to the registry’s registration policies. Registering the name does not supply computing resources or certify the service. Registry guidance (opens in a new tab)↗

Is .cloud right for your idea?
Describe the service customers receive
Cloud can mean storage, software, infrastructure or support. Explain which you provide, who it is for and what users need to get started. Avoid making visitors decode technical infrastructure before understanding the offer.
Use one stable address across providers
A domain can remain your public address if the service moves between hosting providers. Plan DNS changes carefully and test login, certificates and any app callbacks when migrating.
Keep status and support easy to find
Customers using a hosted service need clear support information. If you create a status page, consider how people will reach it during an outage of the main application.

About this extension
The story behind .cloud
Domain family
Generic top-level domain
Registry operator
ARUBA PEC S.p.A.
ARUBA PEC S.p.A. 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: .cloud registry record ↗ (opens in a new tab)
A computing word operated from Italy
The IANA record for .cloud begins in June 2015 and identifies ARUBA PEC S.p.A. as its registry operator. The domain name and the provider running your application remain separate choices.
No. Domain registration and cloud hosting are separate services.
Do I have to host with the registry operator?
The domain can connect to your chosen provider using its DNS instructions. Check that the application supports your custom address.
Is .cloud suitable for a consultancy?
Yes, the cloud theme can describe advice and managed services as well as an application. Explain the specific services on the website.
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.
