.ceo Domain Registrationfrom £171.94/yr
Why Choose a .ceo Domain?
The .ceo extension launched in 2014 and is operated by CEOTLD Limited, with backing from PeopleBrowsr. It was created specifically for chief executives and senior business leaders who want a personal-brand domain that signals seniority instantly. Unlike many vanity TLDs, .ceo has gained genuine traction among executives building personal websites, speaker pages, and thought-leadership platforms separate from their company's main domain. It works particularly well for first-name-lastname pairings.
Ideal for:
- Chief executives building a personal brand
- Founders of startups and SMEs
- Executive coaches and leadership consultants
- Keynote speakers and authors writing on business
- Board advisors and non-executive directors
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — you do not need to prove you hold a CEO title to register, although the implied positioning may not suit every buyer.
- Single-character and short generic names are often classed as premium by the registry and carry higher fees set at the registry level.
- Standard ICANN policies apply, including the 60-day transfer lock after registration.

Frequently asked questions about .ceo
Anyone, anywhere in the world can register a .ceo domain. There are no checks on job title, company size, or industry, so the extension is open to executives, aspiring founders, agencies registering on behalf of clients, and personal-brand buyers alike. That said, the name carries an obvious executive connotation that buyers usually want to live up to.
You can register a .ceo domain for between one and ten years in single-year increments. Longer registration periods can be a sensible choice for personal-brand domains you intend to keep for the duration of your career, since they remove the risk of accidentally missing a renewal.
Yes. Provided the domain is more than 60 days old, is unlocked at your current registrar, and you have the EPP authorisation code, you can transfer it across. The transfer typically completes within five to seven days and adds an extra year to the existing registration period.
After expiry the domain enters a roughly 30-day renewal grace period at the standard renewal fee. It then moves into a 30-day redemption period during which restoration is possible but expensive, before being released back to general availability. We send renewal reminders well in advance to help you avoid this.
It can be, but think about how visitors will read it. The extension is most credible for founders, owner-operators, and senior executives. If you are earlier in your career, a TLD like .me, .name or your country code may feel more honest and avoid setting expectations you would rather not have to manage.
