Use the promise carefully
Win can express ambition or celebrate achievement. Avoid implying guaranteed prizes, returns or results where none are assured.

.win domain names
A positive address for challenges and achievements.
A .win domain can fit a challenge, a sports project or an upbeat brand. Choose wording that explains what people can take part in, without suggesting that the address guarantees success.

Choose with confidence
Is .win right for your idea?
Explain participation clearly
For a competition, make the organiser, dates and entry conditions easy to find. A domain does not supply competition management or establish regulatory compliance.
Keep an enduring destination
A brand or series name may work better than a dated event. Put individual challenges on their own pages so old links still make sense.

Questions about .win domains
Is .win only for competitions?
No. It is a generic ending that can also suit a sports community, a project or a brand with an appropriate name.
Which .win registration periods can I choose?
Standard .win 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 .win 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.
