The most popular and recognised domain extension in the world, trusted by businesses and visitors alike.
The .com extension is a generic top-level domain (gTLD), introduced in 1985 as one of the first domains on the internet. Short for commercial, .com was one of the original extensions and is now the most widely used TLD in the world, with hundreds of millions of names registered. It is open to anyone, anywhere.
Because it is so familiar, a .com signals an established, professional business and helps build trust with a global audience. Visitors expect a serious brand to use it, and a strong .com gives you a clear online identity that is easy to recognise and remember. As the most popular and most trusted domain extension, a .com is the global online standard for a serious web address.
Anyone can register a .com domain. Domain registration, renewal and transfer work through an accredited registrar, and you provide your contact details when you register. The hard part is availability: with so many names taken, finding your desired domain name can take a few tries, so it is worth checking domain availability early.
Once your name is live you manage DNS and email from your account, and you can add domain privacy to keep your details out of the public record. Pair your .com with one of our web hosting plans to build your site, add an SSL certificate and set up professional email.
Register your .com name
A .com domain includes the following great features:

With hundreds of millions of .com domains registered, the exact name you want may be taken. Check domain availability to find an available .com, or buy your domain as a premium name. Registering the .com version of your name also helps protect your brand.
Register your domain in minutes, then manage DNS and email from your control panel. We confirm once your registration is complete.
Competitive .com registration and renewal at the prices shown on our site, with no hidden costs or long contracts. Turn on auto-renewal so you keep your name.
A .com is recognised and trusted worldwide. It reassures visitors and search engines that your site is an established brand.
Our UK based support team can help with registration, renewal, transfer your domain, DNS and our domain privacy service for your .com and the rest of your portfolio.

Find answers to common questions about .com domains.
Anyone can register a .com domain, so you can get a trusted, well-known gTLD for your website through any accredited registrar. The only requirement is that the name is not already taken, which can be a challenge for such a popular extension.
Yes, and we recommend it. Not only do we offer competitive pricing but by consolidating the management of both your domains and web hosting with us it makes them easier to manage and change if need be saving you valuable time and money!
When it comes to choosing a TLD to go with your domain there are a few different things to consider. For instance, what kind of site will the domain name lead to? Is it a personal portfolio site or an internet-only e-commerce website? It all comes down to your choice, what works for your brand and what audience you want to reach.
Similar to most domains, .com can be registered for a maximum of 10 years before it has to be renewed. This stops domains from being hoarded whilst allowing for long-term planning if you have a set budget.
Yes. A .com is a generic top-level domain (a gTLD or generic top level domain), not a country code top-level domain like .co.uk. The .com TLD is the most popular top level domain in the world and works for any kind of website, anywhere.
A .com targets a global audience, while a .co.uk domain signals a UK business to British customers. If most of your visitors are in the UK, .co.uk is a strong choice, and many businesses register both the .com and the country-specific version to protect their brand.
Yes. Domain privacy keeps your personal contact details out of the public WHOIS record. You can add it to your .com and manage your contact details, DNS and name servers from your account at any time.
