.food Domain Registrationfrom £60.78/yr
Why Choose a .food Domain?
The .food extension is one of the newer gastronomy-focused gTLDs, designed for restaurants, food producers, recipe creators, and anyone working in the culinary world. It gives you an instantly recognisable namespace that signals exactly what your site is about, which matters when diners and shoppers are scanning search results or social bios. Unlike older food-themed extensions like .restaurant or .pizza, .food is broad enough to suit any cuisine, dietary niche, or stage of the supply chain.
Ideal for:
- Independent restaurants, cafés and food trucks
- Recipe bloggers and cookbook authors
- Specialty producers — bakeries, cheesemakers, chocolatiers
- Meal kit and grocery delivery startups
- Food critics, reviewers and YouTube cooking channels
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register, with no proof of food industry involvement required.
- Some shorter, common food terms are classified as premium names and carry higher registration and renewal fees set by the registry.
- Standard ICANN policies apply, including the 60-day transfer lock after registration.

Frequently asked questions about .food
Anyone. The .food TLD is unrestricted, so you do not need to prove you run a restaurant, food business, or culinary blog. Home cooks, journalists, hobbyists, and global brands all register .food names freely. There is no geographic limitation either — registrants from any country are welcome.
You can register a .food domain for any term between 1 and 10 years. Many customers choose a multi-year registration to lock in the name and avoid having to remember annual renewals. You can also enable auto-renewal in your control panel so the domain stays active without manual intervention.
Yes. Transfers are straightforward provided the domain is at least 60 days old, unlocked at your current registrar, and you have the EPP authorisation code. Incoming transfers typically add a one-year extension to the existing expiry date, so you do not lose any time you have already paid for.
Yes. The registry has reserved a tier of common, generic, or highly desirable food-related terms as premium names. These carry higher registration fees and, importantly, premium renewal fees every year — not just at first registration. The domain search widget will flag any premium pricing before you check out.
After expiry the domain enters a roughly 30-day grace period during which you can renew at the standard price. It then moves to a redemption period of about 30 days where recovery is possible but incurs a redemption fee. After that the name is released back to the public pool and anyone can register it.
