Is .cool right for your idea?
Explain what visitors will find
Cool expresses a tone rather than a business category. Add a clear introduction so people know whether they have found a shop, portfolio or publication.
Think beyond a short-lived trend
Choose a name you will still be happy using after the first launch. A lasting project benefits from an address that can grow with it.

Questions about .cool domains
Is .cool tied to a particular industry?
The word has a broad informal meaning. It can provide a tone for different projects, while the website explains the actual product, service or subject.
Which .cool registration periods can I choose?
Standard .cool 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 .cool 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.
