Questions about .date domains
Does .date include a dating platform?
No. It is the domain name only. Website features, account systems and moderation are separate.
Which .date registration periods can I choose?
Standard .date registrations are available for 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 years. Term prices are full upfront charges. Confirm your term and renewal price at order review.
Can I use .date with my existing website?
Yes, if your website provider supports a custom domain. Follow its DNS connection instructions. 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.
