Use the cultural reference deliberately
The registry describes moe as a term rooted in Japanese fan culture. It can be meaningful to that audience while needing an explanation for visitors unfamiliar with it.

Is .moe right for your idea?
Keep creative ownership clear
Credit collaborators and use artwork or characters only where you have the necessary rights. An expressive domain does not grant permission to reuse another creator's work.
Give followers a stable destination
Bring together the places where you publish and the ways people can contact you. You can change those external links without changing the address your followers know.

Questions about .moe domains
Do I need to live in Japan to register .moe?
The registry describes .moe as available for anyone to use; it is a generic ending, not Japan's country-code domain.
Which .moe registration periods can I choose?
Standard .moe 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 .moe 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.
