.bond Domain Registrationfrom £26.68/yr
Why Choose a .bond Domain?
The .bond extension launched in 2014 and was originally a brand TLD for an Australian financial firm before being acquired by ShortDot SA in 2020 and reopened to the public. The word "bond" carries a wide range of meanings — financial instruments, surety and guarantee services, chemistry, construction, and personal connections — which gives the extension unusual versatility for businesses across very different sectors.
Ideal for:
- Bail bond agencies and surety providers
- Investment firms offering bonds and fixed-income products

- Wedding planners, matchmakers and relationship-focused brands
- Construction and bonded contractor services
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .bond domain.

Frequently asked questions about .bond
Anyone can register a .bond domain. Since ShortDot acquired the extension in 2020 and reopened it to the public, there are no eligibility restrictions tied to industry, profession or location. Individuals, companies and organisations from any country are welcome to register, subject to standard ICANN policies.
You can register a .bond domain for between one and ten years in single-year increments. Choosing a longer registration term protects your name from accidental expiry and locks in your ownership for the period chosen. You can also renew at any point during the term to extend the registration further.
Yes. To transfer in, your domain must be at least 60 days old, unlocked at your current registrar, and you'll need the EPP authorisation code. The transfer typically completes within five to seven days and adds a year to your existing registration period at no loss of time.
After expiry, the domain enters a renewal grace period of around 30 days during which you can renew at the standard price. After that comes a redemption period with a higher restoration fee, then the domain is released back to the public pool. Renewing before expiry is always the simplest option.
Yes. ShortDot reserves a tier of premium .bond names — typically short, generic or high-demand keywords — that carry higher registration and renewal fees set by the registry. The pricing shown in our search tool reflects whether a specific name is standard or premium, so you'll see the real cost before checkout.
