A compact personal ending for a name-led website.

Is .kim right for your idea?

Make the personal connection clear

Use a name that makes sense to the people looking for you. The ending can feel natural for some identities but may need explanation for others.

Decide what belongs in public

A professional introduction needs different information from a private family space. Publish only the contact details and personal material you intend to share widely.

Keep work easy to navigate

A concise biography, examples and a contact route can be enough. A personal domain can remain useful even when your employer or social platforms change.

Questions about .kim domains

Is .kim restricted to people with that name?

It is a generic domain choice subject to registry policies, rather than a name-verification service.

Which .kim registration periods can I choose?

Standard .kim 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 .kim 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.
