Is .lol right for your idea?
Put the work in one place
Bring together clips, show dates and booking details rather than making visitors search across several platforms. Use material you have permission to publish.
Keep humour clear and considerate
A funny name should still be easy to spell and should not impersonate another person or brand. Give people a straightforward way to contact the creator.

Can I use .lol 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?
