How to choose a .world domain name
Wondering how to pick the best .world domain name for your website? Here are some tips to get you started.
Length matters
Although domains can be up to 63 characters long, try to keep users in mind. Keep your .world domain name on the short side, as it'll make it easier to remember and reduce the risk of misspellings.
Avoid numbers
Using numbers in your .world domain name can cause confusion – do they use digits or type it out? If a number is needed, consider registering each format to account for variations.
Keep it simple
Including hard-to-spell words in your .world domain name can make it difficult for users to find you. If it's not possible to use an easier name, register multiple domains that cover misspellings.
No special characters
When it comes to your .world domain name, 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 .world domain?
A .world domain is a type of top-level domain (TLD) that lets you promote a product or service to territories across the world. It's a great domain for all types of websites – be it online shops, blogs, communities, informational content and much more.
Who is a .world domain for?
A .world domain is quite literally for everyone. With the domain being so broad, a .world domain can fit for any intended purposes, from businesses to blogs. Plus, a .world can help you expand your business, so if you have an existing .co.uk domain, but can't get a .com then a .world is your next best bet.
How much is a .world domain?
It costs only £1 to buy a .world domain name! When you buy a .world domain with us, you also get 24/7 expert support, plus free transfers and renewals.
Can I buy a .world domain?
No matter who or where you are, anyone can buy a .world domain! There are no requirements or restrictions for who can buy a .world domain.
Should I use .com or .world?
The answer to which domain you should register lies in what's available. .com domains can be quite common to register, so a .world 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's the difference between .com and .world domain?
Both .com and .world are top-level domains. .com stands for "commercial", so it's likely to be registered for commercial transactions. However, .world can be a bit more flexible, as registering one doesn't mean you have to run an online store. Another difference is that .world is widely used by those in the travel industry such as agents, freelancers, writers and photographers.
Can other countries access .world websites?
Yes, people from most countries across the world can access .world websites. However, if you're trying to reach an international audience, we would recommend registering a .com domain alongside your existing .world domain name.
Is .world a top-level domain?
Yes. .world is a TLD which became available from the year 2015.
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.co.uk). With our .world domains (and any other domain), you can have unlimited subdomains.
Is .world domain registration difficult?
.world 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 .world domain name, can I transfer to Fasthosts?
Transferring your .world domain name to us is easy and completely free. Visit our domain transfers page for more information.
Can you help me find the perfect .world domain name?
When you're choosing a .world 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 .world 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 .world 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 .world 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.
