.gripe domain names
A clear theme for constructive criticism.
A .gripe domain signals a place for complaints or criticism. It can suit a constructive feedback project when the site makes its purpose clear, distinguishes facts from opinion and gives visitors useful ways to understand an issue.

Choose with confidence
Is .gripe right for your idea?
Choose an independent identity
Do not make the address or page appear to be an official service if it is not. Use an original project name and clearly identify who operates the site. A domain registration does not remove responsibility for what is published.
Allow room for resolution
If you accept contributions, plan moderation and corrections. For a broader mix of positive and negative experiences, compare .review or .community rather than committing the whole project to complaints.

Questions about .gripe domains
Does .gripe provide a complaints platform?
No. You are registering an address. Publishing, moderation and any feedback tools are separate, and the site must comply with applicable rules.
Which .gripe registration periods can I choose?
Standard .gripe 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 .gripe 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.
