Organise by what the audience needs
A visitor may want to read, watch, listen or commission work. Give those routes clear labels instead of presenting an undifferentiated grid of everything you have made.

.media domain names
Bring your creative output together.
A .media domain can bring publishing, audio, photography and video under one brand. It is useful when your work spans several formats and a narrower ending would leave something out.
£40.95 /yr + VAT · £49.14 including VAT
One-year renewal: £40.95 + VAT (£49.14 including VAT). Compare registration terms ↓
Who can register?
.media registrations follow Identity Digital policies. The name does not grant copyright, press credentials or permission to publish someone else’s work. Registry guidance (opens in a new tab)↗
Choose with confidence
Is .media right for your idea?
Make ownership and credits clear
Use work you can publish and identify collaborators appropriately. A portfolio should explain your role in a project, particularly where production involved several people or organisations.
Compare a broad studio name with .tv
Choose .media when several formats belong together. A video-only channel might communicate its purpose more immediately with .tv, while a broader studio can keep room for new formats.

Questions about .media domains
Is .media only for news organisations?
No. The media theme can fit creative production, publishing and several audio or visual formats.
Does .media include media hosting?
No. Large files, streaming and publishing software depend on the hosting or platform you connect.
Can I use it for a portfolio?
Yes. Give projects context and make the route to commissions or contact easy to find.
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.
