About this extension
The story behind .hosting
- Domain family
- Generic top-level domain
- Registry operator
- XYZ.COM LLC
XYZ.COM LLC 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: .hosting registry record (opens in a new tab)
How .hosting fits into the domain system
IANA’s .hosting registry record dates from August 2014. It identifies XYZ.COM LLC as the registry operator. A generic ending naming hosting. This is the registry-record date, rather than a claimed public launch date.

Questions about .hosting domains
Does .hosting include a server?
No. Infrastructure is separate from domain registration.
Does it verify a hosting company?
No. The website must identify and describe the actual provider.
Should I compare .host?
Yes. Compare the longer activity word with the shorter form in the complete 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.
