Why Choose a .community Domain?
The .community TLD launched in 2014 as one of Donuts' early new gTLDs (now operated by Identity Digital). It speaks plainly to what it is — a home for groups of people organised around a shared interest, location, cause, or identity. Unlike vague alternatives, the word "community" appears in the address itself, telling visitors exactly what they're walking into. It's a natural fit when a forum, a neighbourhood group, or a member network is the whole point of the site.
Ideal for:
- Local neighbourhood and residents' associations
- Online forums, Discord hubs, and discussion boards
- Hobby clubs, fan groups, and interest-based collectives
- Faith groups, charities, and volunteer networks
- Open-source projects and developer communities
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .community domain. No proof of group membership or non-profit status required.
- Operated by Identity Digital, one of the largest new gTLD registries.
- Some shorter or more desirable names are classified as premium and carry higher registration and renewal fees set by the registry.

Frequently asked questions about .community
Anyone. There are no eligibility restrictions on .community — you don't need to be a registered charity, a non-profit, or prove you run an actual community group. Individuals, businesses, and organisations anywhere in the world can register one on a first-come, first-served basis.
You can register a .community domain for between one and ten years at a time. Many people start with a one or two year term and extend later, but registering for longer locks in the name and reduces the chance of accidentally letting it lapse during a renewal cycle.
Yes. As long as the 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 it at your current registrar and obtain the auth code, then start the transfer with us. The transfer adds a year to the existing expiry date.
After expiry there's a renewal grace period of around 30 days where you can renew normally. After that it enters a redemption period of roughly 30 days with a higher restoration fee. If still unrenewed, it's released back to the public pool and anyone can register it.
Yes. .community supports WHOIS privacy, which replaces your personal contact details in the public registry record with proxy information. This is particularly useful for individuals running community sites from a home address who don't want their details publicly searchable.
