About this extension
The story behind .rip
- Domain family
- Generic top-level domain
- Registry operator
- Identity Digital
Identity Digital 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: .rip registry record (opens in a new tab)
How .rip fits into the domain system
IANA’s .rip registry record dates from October 2014. It identifies Identity Digital as the registry operator. A generic ending often read as rest in peace. This is the registry-record date, rather than a claimed public launch date.
Background checked 6 September 2026 against the sources linked above.

Can it suit a historical project?
It can, where the complete name and content fit the purpose.
Who should control the registration?
Choose the person or organisation that will be responsible for the address and ongoing renewals.
What happens after I find a domain?

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.
