Make a first website manageable
Start with the purpose of the page, a useful explanation or example, and one clear next step. A project does not need a large website simply because it has its own domain.

.site domain names
A straightforward home for your project.
A .site domain can work for a portfolio, local service or project that needs its own website. The ending stays broad, so the name before the dot can carry your idea.

Choose with confidence
Is .site right for your idea?
Choose a name that explains something
Because “site” is broad, an equally generic name before it can leave visitors guessing. A distinctive project title or recognisable personal brand will usually communicate more than a string of general words.
Keep future moves in mind
Your domain can remain the address when you change website providers. Keep access to the domain account and record your DNS setup before moving, especially if email also uses the name.

About this extension
The story behind .site
- Domain family
- Generic top-level domain
- 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: .site registry record (opens in a new tab)
A literal website ending
The .site registry record dates from March 2015. Its descriptive word refers to the website itself rather than specifying an industry, country or business type.
Background checked 6 September 2026 against the sources linked above.

Questions about .site domains
Is .site suitable for a portfolio?
Yes. It can provide a broad address for a portfolio containing several kinds of work, rather than tying the name to one specialism.
Does .site mean hosting is included?
No. A domain is an address. Use the included starting-page features or connect the website service that fits your project.
Should I use .site or .online?
Both are broad endings. Read each complete address aloud and compare the name, price and how naturally it fits your project.
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.
