Is .rest right for your idea?
Put practical details first
Opening hours, menus, access information and reservations are often the reason people visit. Keep those details easy to find on a phone.
Check the meaning in context
Rest can also suggest relaxation or a pause. That flexibility can be useful, but the first page should make your actual service obvious.

Questions about .rest domains
Does a .rest registration include reservations or a menu system?
No. It registers the address. Connect a compatible website or booking service separately.
Which .rest registration periods can I choose?
Standard .rest 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 .rest 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.
