.contact Domain Registrationfrom £23.72/yr
Why Choose a .contact Domain?
The .contact extension was delegated by ICANN in 2015 and is operated by Donuts (now Identity Digital), the same registry behind a large portfolio of descriptive new gTLDs. The word "contact" is universally understood across languages and instantly signals what visitors will find: a way to get in touch. That makes it useful as a standalone destination — yourbrand.contact — or as a dedicated subdomain alternative for businesses who want a clean, single-purpose web address for enquiries, support and outreach.
Ideal for:
- Freelancers building a personal contact card or vCard page
- Businesses running outreach, lead-capture or support landing pages
- Sales teams wanting a memorable URL to print on cards and email signatures
- Customer service portals separated from the main marketing site
- Public figures, consultants and agencies who want a clean enquiry hub
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .contact domain.
- Operated by Identity Digital, one of the largest new gTLD registries.
- Some short, dictionary or premium terms are tiered and carry higher registry pricing — these are flagged at checkout.
- Standard registration terms run from 1 to 10 years.

Frequently asked questions about .contact
Registration is unrestricted. There are no residency, business or industry requirements — individuals, companies, charities and organisations anywhere in the world can register a .contact domain on a first-come, first-served basis. You simply need to provide accurate contact details for the WHOIS record, as required by ICANN policy.
You can register a .contact domain for any term between 1 and 10 years in single-year increments. Renewing for multiple years up front is a good way to lock in the domain and avoid accidental lapses, particularly if you are using the address on printed business cards or marketing material.
Yes. If your .contact is currently with another registrar, you can transfer it across as long as it is at least 60 days old, unlocked at the losing registrar, and you have the EPP authorisation code. The transfer adds an extra year to the existing registration period, so you do not lose any time you have already paid for.
Yes, free WHOIS privacy is available on .contact domains and can be enabled from your control panel after registration. This replaces your personal name, address, email and phone number in the public WHOIS database with forwarding details, which helps reduce spam and protect your personal information.
After expiry the domain enters a roughly 30-day renewal grace period during which you can renew at the standard price. After that it moves into a redemption period of around 30 days where recovery is possible but carries a registry redemption fee. Once that ends the domain is deleted and released back for general registration.
