.email domain names
An address built around your correspondence.
A .email domain can give a personal identity or business a name intended for email. Plan the full address and the mailbox service together, because the domain alone does not receive messages.

Choose with confidence
Is .email right for your idea?
Arrange a mailbox provider
Connect a service that accepts custom domains and follow its MX records and verification instructions. Check the separate mailbox costs and whether the plan supports the users and storage you need.
Test sending as well as receiving
Follow the provider’s instructions for SPF, DKIM and DMARC, then test correspondence with other providers. Keep existing mail records intact when changing a website on the same domain.

Questions about .email domains
Does registering .email create a mailbox?
No. You need a mailbox service or another suitable mail setup connected to the domain.
Can .email also have a website?
Yes. Web and mail services can share a domain using the appropriate DNS records.
Will .email guarantee messages reach the inbox?
No. Delivery also depends on configuration, sender behaviour, content and the receiving provider.
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.
