What is a .design domain?

The .design domain was launched in 2015 by the Top Level Design registry through ICANN's new generic top-level domain programme. It quickly gained popularity in the creative community, helped by designers and studios who preferred a short name to a long .com alternative.

The word "design" is used the same way in most languages, so the extension is understood everywhere. It covers every discipline: graphic, web and UX design, product, interior, fashion and architecture. It is open to anyone, and a name such as anna.design or studio-x.design works as a business card and a portfolio at the same time.

Questions about .design domains

Do I need to be a designer to register a .design domain?

No. The extension is open to anyone, with no documents or checks. It is still best suited to design-related work, where the name strengthens your professional image with clients.

Is .design suitable for an interior designer?

Yes, the extension covers every design discipline, not only graphic design. Interior designers, architects, furniture makers and product designers use it often for portfolios and project showcases.

Does the .design extension matter for Google?

Google treats new generic extensions the same as .com, with no advantage or penalty. Portfolio quality, project descriptions, site speed and inbound links are what count. A short name with your own name helps with branded searches.

Which platform should I use for my .design portfolio?

Any platform works. With us you can add a cloud server with WordPress or Ghost installed in one click and point the domain at it from the free DNS editor. If you prefer an external portfolio service, you only change the DNS records.

How much does a .design domain cost?

Registering a .design domain costs €50.77 for the first year and €68.57 for each renewal, VAT excluded, paid from your account credit. There is no setup fee and DNS hosting is included.

For how long can I register a .design domain?

You can register a .design domain for 1 to 10 years at once. After that it renews automatically from your credit a month before expiry, and you get an email if your credit is short.

Can I transfer my .design domain to cloudlinux.ro?

Yes. Transferring a .design domain costs €50.77 and normally adds a year to its expiry. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get the transfer code and start the transfer from the Domains section of your console.

Can I host a website on my .design domain with you?

Yes. Launch a cloud server billed by the hour, pick a one-click app such as WordPress, Ghost or Nextcloud, and point your .design domain to it from the DNS editor. The domain also works with any server you run elsewhere.
