Register your .news domain
.news domains for €41.42 the first year, then €19.86 a year. Search below and add as many names as you need.
What is a .news domain?
The .news domain was introduced around 2014 to 2015 through ICANN's new generic top-level domain programme and is now part of the Identity Digital portfolio. It is designed for news publications, online magazines, newsletters and any project that publishes current affairs.
For a local or niche news site, a name like city.news or topic.news is short and instantly tells readers what to expect. Companies also use it for their newsroom or press releases, separate from the main site. The extension is open to anyone with no press accreditation, which means responsibility for the quality of the content rests entirely with the publisher.

Tips for choosing a .news name
- A local name such as city.news works well for regional publications.
- Use structured data for articles and a news sitemap so your stories appear faster in search.
- News sites see traffic spikes: choose a scalable cloud server and a platform like Ghost or WordPress.
- If you already have an established domain, keep it and redirect it so existing readers still find you.

Questions about .news domains
Do I need press accreditation for a .news domain?
No. The extension is open to anyone, with no check on journalist or publication status. That makes it accessible to independent journalists and small newsrooms, but it also means reader trust is earned through content, not through the extension.
Does .news help me appear in Google News?
The extension gives no automatic advantage. Google assesses news sites on content quality, newsroom transparency, author information and compliance with its policies. A .news domain helps with brand recognition but does not replace those requirements.
Can I use .news for my company newsroom?
Yes. Many companies use a .news domain for press releases, reports and announcements, separate from the commercial site. It is a practical resource for journalists looking for official company information.
Which platform do you recommend for a news site?
Ghost and WordPress are popular choices, both available as one-click apps on a cloud server. Ghost has built-in newsletters, while WordPress has a wide ecosystem of publication themes. The domain is configured from the free DNS editor.
How much does a .news domain cost?
Registering a .news domain costs €41.42 for the first year and €19.86 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 .news domain?
You can register a .news 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 .news domain to cloudlinux.ro?
Yes. Transferring a .news domain costs €41.42 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 .news 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 .news domain to it from the DNS editor. The domain also works with any server you run elsewhere.
