Is .red right for your idea?
Check the spoken version
Short endings are useful only if people remember them correctly. Say the full address with the word dot and check that listeners can repeat it.
Keep campaigns connected
A colour-themed campaign can have its own address while linking to your main business. Plan who maintains the site and what happens after the campaign ends.

Questions about .red domains
Does a .red domain require a red website?
No. Your domain and visual design are separate choices. Consistency can help recognition, but the registry does not supply a colour theme.
Which .red registration periods can I choose?
Standard .red 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 .red 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.
