Questions about .recipes domains
Does .recipes include a recipe database?
No. Content and publishing software are separate.
Can a small collection use it?
Yes. A focused, well-organised collection can be useful without being large.
Is .recipes the same as .cooking?
No. Recipes names a content type; cooking is a broader activity word.
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.
