Overview

What is .express

express is an English word for fast and urgent, and people know it from express mail, shipping companies and shop signs. So it suits any business that sells time before anything else: parcel transport, delivery, instant printing, and the services done while you wait in the shop.

.express entered the internet’s root in 2015, is run by Binky Moon, LLC, and supports DNSSEC signing and names in Arabic letters. With us its price starts with a first-year offer, and renewal costs clearly more, so don’t judge its cost by its first-year price alone, but by the renewal.

Its word is familiar to many, but it is a new, rarely seen extension, so your customer may type .com out of habit; register your name in .com too if you find it free. And speed is a promise: if your service isn’t truly fast, the name says something about you that isn’t so.
