.bike Domain Registrationfrom £57.80/yr
Why Choose a .bike Domain?
The .bike extension was one of the first new gTLDs to launch, going live in early 2014 as part of Donuts' initial wave of niche generic domains. It is now operated by Identity Digital following its acquisition of Donuts. The extension is unrestricted, so cycling shops, frame builders, courier firms, advocacy groups and enthusiasts can all register without proving any trade affiliation, making it a clear, descriptive alternative to crowded .com namespaces.
Ideal for:
- Independent bike shops and repair workshops
- Frame builders and custom component makers
- Cycling clubs, sportives and charity ride organisers
- Bike couriers and delivery startups
- Cycling bloggers, reviewers and YouTube channels
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register, with no proof of cycling-related activity required.
- Operated by Identity Digital, the registry behind a large portfolio of descriptive new gTLDs.
- Some short, dictionary-word .bike names are flagged as premium by the registry and carry higher recurring fees — the search tool will show this clearly before you check out.
- Standard registration terms run from 1 to 10 years.

Frequently asked questions about .bike
Anyone. The .bike namespace is fully unrestricted, so individuals, sole traders, limited companies and non-profits can all register, regardless of country. You do not have to run a cycling business or prove any link to the industry — the extension is open to enthusiasts, bloggers and side projects too.
You can register a .bike domain in one-year increments, from a minimum of one year up to a maximum of ten years at a time. Most customers choose two or three years to lock in continuity, but you can renew or extend at any point during the registration period through your control panel.
Yes. Provided your domain is more than 60 days old and not within 60 days of a previous transfer, you can move it across by unlocking it at your current registrar and supplying the EPP authorisation code. Inbound transfers typically add a year to your registration term on top of any time remaining.
Yes. The registry classifies certain short or high-demand keywords as premium, and these carry an elevated price that recurs every year at renewal — not just at first registration. Our domain search shows the exact annual cost before you commit, so there are no surprises at renewal time.
After expiry the domain enters a roughly 30-day grace period during which you can renew at the standard price. It then moves into a redemption phase for around 30 days where recovery is possible but incurs a registry redemption fee. After that it is deleted and released for anyone to register again.
