Why Choose a .capital Domain?
The .capital extension launched in 2014 as part of Donuts' portfolio of professional new gTLDs (now operated by Identity Digital). It speaks directly to the world of finance, investment, and capital allocation — venture funds, private equity firms, real estate investors, and wealth managers. The word carries weight in business contexts, signalling seriousness about money and growth, and the namespace remains relatively uncluttered compared with crowded alternatives like .com or .finance.
Ideal for:
- Venture capital and private equity firms
- Real estate investment trusts and property funds
- Wealth management and family offices
- Angel investor networks and syndicates
- Financial advisory and corporate finance boutiques
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .capital domain.
- Operated by Identity Digital (formerly Donuts), one of the largest new gTLD registry operators.
- Some short, generic, or financially-loaded terms (e.g. growth.capital, london.capital) are classified as premium names by the registry and carry higher registration and renewal fees.
- Standard ICANN policies apply, including the 60-day transfer lock after registration.

Frequently asked questions about .capital
Registration is unrestricted. There are no eligibility checks, no requirement to be a regulated financial firm, and no geographic limits. Individuals, partnerships, and companies anywhere in the world can register a .capital domain on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to standard ICANN policies and the registry's acceptable use rules.
You can register a .capital domain for any term between one and ten years, and renew it indefinitely after that. Many investment firms opt for longer initial terms to lock in the name and avoid accidental lapses, since a finance website going dark even briefly can damage credibility with clients and counterparties.
Yes. Identity Digital classifies certain short, generic, or commercially valuable .capital names as premium, and these carry higher registration and renewal fees set by the registry. The domain search will show the actual price for any specific name. Standard names are priced at the regular tier and renew at that same rate each year.
Yes. You'll need to unlock the domain at your current registrar, obtain the EPP authorisation code, and start the transfer through our website. The process typically takes five to seven days and extends your registration by one year. Note that domains cannot be transferred within 60 days of initial registration or a previous transfer.
After expiry you enter a roughly 30-day grace period during which you can renew at the standard price. After that comes a redemption period of about 30 days where recovery is possible but carries a hefty registry redemption fee. Once that ends the name is deleted and released back to the public pool, where anyone can register it.
