About this extension
The story behind .host
- Domain family
- Generic top-level domain
- Registry operator
- Radix
Radix is responsible for this domain registry. Registration through UK Cheapest and the website or email service you connect are separate parts of using the name. IANA: .host registry record (opens in a new tab)
How .host fits into the domain system
IANA’s .host registry record dates from May 2014. It identifies Radix as the registry operator. A generic ending using the word host. This is the registry-record date, rather than a claimed public launch date.
Background checked 6 September 2026 against the sources linked above.

Questions about .host domains
Does .host include hosting?
No. The domain and hosting service are separate.
Can it suit an information project?
Yes. Make the publisher and technical scope clear.
Is it the same as .hosting?
No. They are separate registrations with different wording and prices.
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.
