How to choose a .properties domain name
Wondering how to pick the best .properties domain name for your website? Here are some tips to get you started.
Length matters
Domains can be up to 63 characters, but try to keep users in mind. Keep your .properties domain name on the short side to make it easier to remember and reduce the risk of misspellings.
Avoid numbers
Using numbers in your .properties domain name can cause confusion – do they use digits or type it out? If a number is needed, consider registering each format to cover any variations.
Keep it simple
Including complex words in your .properties domain name can make it difficult for users to find you. If you can't use an easier name, register multiple domains to cover misspellings.
No special characters
With your .properties domain, special characters like underscores or exclamation points are a no-no. Your domain can contain hyphens, but not as the first or last character of the domain.

Frequently asked questions
What is a .properties domain?
A .properties domain is a type of top-level domain (TLD) that lets you promote a product or service – more specifically, in the real estate or technology sector. Though it's more suited to these industries, .properties sites can be used to host blogs and build communities too.
Who is a .properties domain for?
A .properties domain is perfect for those working in real estate, tech and similar industries. If you let or sell properties, a .properties domain is a sure fire way to show your audience that they're in the right place. Plus, if you can't get a .co.uk or .com version of your domain name, a .properties domain is a fantastic alternative.
How much is a .properties domain?
It costs only £48.35 to get a .properties domain name! When you buy with us, you'll also get 24/7 expert support, plus free transfers and renewals.
Can I buy a .properties domain?
No matter who or where you are, anyone can buy a .properties domain! There are no requirements or restrictions for who can buy, just keep your business or project in mind before picking your TLD.
Should I use .com or .properties?
The answer to which domain you should register lies in what's available. .com domains can be quite common to register, so a .properties domain is a good alternative. However, if your domain name is available for both TLDs, then it's worth registering both to protect your brand name.
What is the difference between .com and .properties?
Both .com and .properties are top-level domains. .com stands for "commercial" so it's likely to be registered for commercial transactions. However, .properties, especially if used to list rentals, may be more fitting for your business.
Can other countries access .properties websites?
Yes, people from most countries across the world can access .properties websites. However, if you're trying to reach an international audience, we'd recommend registering .com and .world domains alongside your .properties domain name.
Is .properties a top-level domain?
Yes. .properties is a generic top-level domain.
What is a domain name?
A domain name is how people find you online. Websites are hosted on a web server, and domain names tell search engines and browsers where your site is hosted. Every domain has to be unique so that the web server knows where to point a user to.
What is a domain extension?
What is a subdomain?
If you want to add a blog to your website, for example, you can create a subdomain (e.g. blog.example.properties). With Fasthosts .properties domains (and any other domain), you can have unlimited subdomains.
Is .properties domain registration difficult?
.properties domain registration is simple. To find your perfect domain, use our domain availability checker. Simply search for an available domain name, enter some details and you're good to go.
Once you've completed your domain name registration, you're ready to build a website or add an Email Hosting package.
I already have a .properties domain name, can I transfer to Fasthosts?
Transferring your .properties domain name to Fasthosts is easy and completely free. Visit our domain transfers page for more information.
Can you help me find the perfect .properties domain name?
When you're choosing a .properties domain name for your business:
- It's a good idea to protect your brand and register similar extensions (e.g. get your .co.uk alongside your .net or .com).
- With the onset of social media applications and services like Twitter and Facebook, it's generally a good idea to secure usernames that match your chosen .properties name.
- Keep it simple. Names that are longer or contain hard-to-spell words may lead potential visitors to end up on the wrong website or on a 404 page. Shorter names that are easier to remember will make it easier for customers to find you.
Can I sell my .properties domain name?
Because we give you full access to your DNS (domain name system) records, we make it as easy as possible for you to transfer your domain names to other people. This means you can easily sell your .co.uk domain if you don't need it anymore.
Why do I need a domain?
A domain name is essential if you want your own website. It gives your website a unique identity so that search engines know where to direct users.
You can also use it to personalise your business email address, giving your customers the right first impression. You can do this using our professional Email Hosting.
