Overview
What is .green
The word green names the color, and in many languages it has also come to mean anything that respects the environment: farming, clean energy and recycling. .green entered the internet’s root in 2014 and is run by Identity Digital Limited; it is a short word everyone knows, and its color carries its meaning.
.green suits plant nurseries and farms, solar energy companies, tree-planting and clean-up initiatives, agricultural engineering offices, recycling plants, and stores selling natural products. At mashtal-nizwa.green, visitors know there’s a tree and seedling nursery in Nizwa before they see a single seedling.
With us the first year comes with an offer, and the renewal costs several times as much, higher than most of our extensions. The word promises care for the environment, so don’t use it if your work isn’t like that. If your customers are in Oman, name your city or area in the name before it, so they know you’re close to them.

Who it suits
For your field: is .green the best fit?
Every field has an extension that says something about it. Here is what .green says in each, and which extension completes it.
A plant nursery or farm
Excellent · The first choice
Green is the color of what you sell; the name says so before customers see a seedling.
Register it with.green.com
Solar and clean energy
Good · A good fit
Says you’re eco-friendly; .solar or .energy says exactly what you offer.
Register it with.green.solar
A tree-planting or clean-up initiative
Excellent · The first choice
A word that carries your whole cause; .org says you’re a non-profit organization.
Register it with.green.org
A natural products store

- 3A short name, read as it’s writtenIf it needs spelling out on the phone, it’s too long or too complicated.
- 4No digits or hyphens that need explainingEvery hyphen or digit has to be said, and what has to be said gets forgotten.
- 5Renew automatically, or register for yearsUp to 10 years at once, so you never miss a date.
- 6Make sure the name isn’t someone else’s trademarkA registered trademark’s owner can recover the name from whoever registered it first.
