.democrat Domain Registrationfrom £53.36/yr
Why Choose a .democrat Domain?
The .democrat extension launched in 2014 as one of the first politically-themed new gTLDs, aimed at supporters, candidates, and organisations aligned with democratic values and, in particular, the US Democratic Party. It is unrestricted, so anyone can register one, but the namespace has been adopted heavily by campaign teams, local party chapters, advocacy groups, and political bloggers who want their affiliation signalled directly in the domain name.
Ideal for:
- Election campaign websites for candidates running for office
- Local and state Democratic Party chapters
- Political action committees and grassroots fundraising sites
- Progressive advocacy groups and policy think tanks
- Political commentators, podcasters, and opinion bloggers
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register, regardless of political affiliation or country of residence.
- The TLD is operated by Identity Digital (formerly Donuts), which runs a large portfolio of new gTLDs.
- Some short, generic, or high-profile names may be classified as premium by the registry and carry higher registration and renewal fees.
- As with all domains, registrations are public unless WHOIS privacy is applied where supported.

Frequently asked questions about .democrat

Registration terms typically run from one to ten years. You can choose the length that suits your project at checkout, and you can renew at any point before expiry to extend the registration further. Longer terms can be useful for established campaigns or organisations that want to lock in continuity.
Yes. You will need to unlock the domain at your current registrar, obtain the EPP authorisation code, and ensure the registration is more than 60 days old and not within 60 days of a previous transfer. The inbound transfer adds one year to the existing expiry date in most cases.
Yes. The registry classifies certain short, generic, or politically valuable terms as premium names, which carry higher registration fees and often higher renewal fees that recur each year. Standard names are priced at the regular tier. The live search will show you the exact price for any name you check.
After expiry the domain enters a grace period of around 30 days during which you can renew at the standard price. After that, it moves into a redemption period of roughly 30 days where recovery is possible but a redemption fee applies. Once that ends, the name is released and becomes available for anyone to register.
