.estate Domain Registrationfrom £57.80/yr
Why Choose a .estate Domain?
The .estate extension launched in 2014 as part of ICANN's new gTLD programme and is operated by Identity Digital (formerly Donuts). It speaks directly to one of the world's largest industries — property — and signals immediately that a site deals with homes, land, or real estate services. Unlike older alternatives, .estate is short, descriptive, and still has a wealth of unregistered names available for agents and developers building a focused online presence.
Ideal for:
- Independent estate agents and letting agencies
- Property developers and new-build marketing sites
- Buy-to-let investors and portfolio landlords
- Estate planning solicitors and probate specialists
- Luxury home and country estate listings
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register, with no requirement to be a licensed agent or property professional.
- Operated by Identity Digital, one of the largest new gTLD registries running hundreds of extensions.
- The registry classes some high-demand keywords as premium names, which carry a higher annual fee — these are flagged at checkout.
- Standard registration terms are 1 to 10 years, and the domain supports DNSSEC.

Frequently asked questions about .estate
Anyone. There are no eligibility checks, professional accreditations, or geographic restrictions on .estate. Estate agents, developers, landlords, solicitors, and private individuals can all register names on a first-come, first-served basis. You don't need to prove a connection to the property industry to secure one.
You can register a .estate domain for any term between 1 and 10 years at initial registration, and renew in the same range. Locking in a longer term protects you against future price changes and reduces the risk of accidentally letting a name lapse, which is a common worry for agencies running active listings.
Yes. Provided your domain is at least 60 days old and not within 60 days of a previous transfer, you can move it across by unlocking it at your current registrar and obtaining the EPP authorisation code. The transfer typically completes within a few days and adds one year to your registration term.
Yes. The registry designates certain high-value keywords as premium domains, which carry an elevated annual fee set by the registry rather than the standard wholesale rate. These prices are shown clearly during the search process, so there are no surprises at checkout. Most ordinary names are priced at the standard tier.
After expiry your domain enters a roughly 30-day renewal grace period during which you can renew at the standard rate. After that it moves into a redemption period of around 30 days, where recovery is possible but incurs a registry redemption fee. Once redemption ends the name is released and anyone can register it.
