About this extension
The story behind .town
- 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: .town registry record (opens in a new tab)
How .town fits into the domain system
IANA’s .town registry record dates from April 2014. It identifies Identity Digital as the registry operator. A generic ending using the word town. This is the registry-record date, rather than a claimed public launch date.
Background checked 6 September 2026 against the sources linked above.

Questions about .town domains
Is .town tied to one location?
No. The chosen name and website identify the particular town.
Does it confer council status?
No. It is a domain registration, not official designation.
Can a local business use it?
It can fit a place-based identity, with clear information about the business and service.
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.
