A .online domain gives a business, service or personal project a broad home on the web. It describes being online without committing your name to a particular product or place.
Individuals and organisations can choose .online names under Radix registration policies. Reserved and premium names may have different availability or pricing. Registry guidance (opens in a new tab)↗

Is .online right for your idea?
Keep room for the idea to grow
A tutor might begin with a page explaining lessons and later add courses, bookings or resources. A broad ending can remain appropriate as the service changes. Choose a distinctive name before the dot so the complete address still identifies you.
Use a familiar phrase carefully
Read the address aloud and check where the words meet. If your brand already ends with “online”, repeating it can make the address harder to remember. Shorten the name rather than relying on capital letters to separate words.
Explain what visitors can do
The ending alone does not explain your offer. Put the service, location where relevant, and a clear contact or booking step near the top of the website. A simple useful page is a stronger start than an empty placeholder.
Choose your registration term at order review. Prices below are the total upfront cost for a standard domain, not a monthly payment.

Registry operator
Radix
Radix 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: .online registry record ↗ (opens in a new tab)
A broad ending from the newer domain programme
IANA records .online from March 2015. Unlike a country-code ending, its meaning is not tied to a national audience; Radix presents it as a broad address for an online presence.
No. It can also represent a physical business, local service or project with an online presence.
Should I choose .online or .shop?
Consider .shop for a dedicated retail destination. .online leaves the purpose broader if your site combines services, information and products.
Does registration include booking software?
No. Connect a suitable website or booking platform separately. Check its custom-domain support before choosing it.
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.
