Questions about .games domains
Does .games include a game server?
No. Hosting and game services are separate.
Can it suit tabletop games?
Yes. The word is not limited to one platform or medium.
Does it provide rights to a game title?
No. Check naming rights separately before choosing the address.
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.
