Why Choose a .bible Domain?
The .bible TLD is operated by the American Bible Society, which launched the extension in 2016 specifically for the global Christian community. Unlike most new gTLDs, .bible has acceptable use policies tied to biblical content — registrants are expected to use the domain for purposes consistent with the Bible and its teachings. This makes it a clearly signposted home for ministries, scholars, churches, and publishers, with less of the speculative squatting seen on more open extensions.
Ideal for:
- Churches, parishes, and ministry websites
- Bible study groups and small group resources
- Christian publishers, podcasters, and bloggers
- Theological seminaries and biblical scholars
- Christian charities and missionary organisations
Things to know:
- The registry is the American Bible Society, which enforces an acceptable use policy requiring content to be consistent with the Bible — sites that disparage or misrepresent scripture can be challenged.
- Registration is open to anyone, anywhere, but the content rules apply once the domain is in use.
- Some shorter or more desirable .bible names are reserved or sold at premium tiers set by the registry.
- Standard ICANN policies apply, including the 60-day transfer lock after registration.

Frequently asked questions about .bible
Anyone, anywhere can register a .bible domain — there are no geographic or organisational eligibility checks at the point of purchase. However, the registry, the American Bible Society, enforces an acceptable use policy. Your site should be consistent with the Bible and its teachings, and content that disparages or misrepresents scripture may be subject to registry action.
You can register a .bible domain for between 1 and 10 years at a time. You can also renew at any point during the registration period to extend it, up to the 10-year maximum. Many ministries opt for longer terms to lock in their address and avoid the risk of forgetting to renew.
Yes. Provided your domain is at least 60 days old and not within 60 days of a previous transfer, you can move it across. You'll need to unlock the domain at your current registrar and obtain the authorisation (EPP) code, then start the transfer with us. The new registration period will be extended by one year on completion.
After expiry there's a renewal grace period of around 30 days during which you can renew at the standard price. After that the domain enters a redemption period of roughly 30 days where recovery is possible but incurs a registry redemption fee. If still not recovered, the name is released and becomes available for anyone to register.
Yes, WHOIS privacy is available on .bible domains and we offer it free of charge with every eligible registration. This replaces your personal contact details in the public WHOIS database with proxy information, helping reduce spam and unwanted contact while keeping your registration fully valid.
