Register your .blog domain
.blog domains for €9.55 the first year, then €40.82 a year. Search below and add as many names as you need.
What is a .blog domain?
The .blog domain opened to the public in 2016 as part of ICANN's new generic top-level domain programme. Its registry is Knock Knock WHOIS There, a company affiliated with Automattic, the business behind WordPress.com. Unlike older extensions, .blog tells visitors straight away what to expect: articles, journals, opinion and regularly published content.
The extension is open to anyone, with no country or profession restrictions, and is used both by independent writers and by companies that keep their blog apart from their commercial site. A name like yourname.blog is short, memorable and easy to share on social media, and it avoids long addresses such as john-smith-blog.com.

Questions about .blog domains
Do I need WordPress to use a .blog domain?
No. Although the registry is affiliated with Automattic, a .blog domain works with any platform: Ghost, WordPress, a static site generator or a hand-built site. With us you can add a cloud server with one-click apps and point the domain at it from the DNS editor.
Does the .blog extension matter for Google?
Google treats new generic extensions the same as .com for ranking purposes. The real advantage of .blog is clarity: visitors understand from the address what content they will find, which can improve click-through rates in search results and on social media.
Can a business use a .blog domain?
Yes. Many companies use a .blog address for articles, case studies and news while keeping their main site on .com or a country extension. It is a simple way to separate editorial content from commercial pages without long subdomains.
Can I have email on a .blog domain?
Yes, you can set MX records in the free DNS editor and use any email service. An address such as [email protected] works well for collaborations, guest post pitches or subscribers.
