Overview

What is .digital

.digital entered the internet’s root in 2014, and its name is the word digital. A word familiar in Arabic and English alike, it describes everything made and delivered through screens: marketing, design, content and moving businesses online, and everyone who offers these services to others.

It asks for no documents, and it supports names in Arabic and DNSSEC signing. It is broader than .tech, saying neither programming nor devices, but that your work lives on the internet; and short words are easier to find in it than in .com, with no digits or hyphens.

Its first-year offer is low, but renewal costs much more, so count the cost of the years ahead before you register. Its word is longer than .com and less familiar to some customers, and it says nothing about your country.

Who it suits

For your field: is .digital the best fit?

Every field has an extension that says something about it. Here is what .digital says in each, and which extension completes it.

  • A digital marketing agency

    Excellent · The first choice

    The extension says your trade itself, so your customer knows what you offer before opening the site.

    Register it with.digital.com

  • A design or content studio

    Good · A good fit

    It says your work is on screens; .media says it’s content that gets published.

    Register it with.digital.media

  • An agency in Iraq

    Good · A good fit with .com

    .digital says what you offer, and your city’s name before it tells your customers you’re one of them; .com for those who type it out of habit.

    Register it with.com.digital

  • A freelancer offering digital services

    Good · A good fit

    Your name in a word that says your trade; .me for your personal page.

    Register it with.digital.me

  • A tech startup

    Good · A good fit

    If your product is a digital service it describes it; .tech is more precise for pure tech.

    Register it with.digital.tech

  • A traditional shop or craft

    Consider another · Consider .com

    The word “digital” doesn’t resemble work you touch by hand; .com or .store is closer to it.

    Register it with.com.store
