Why Choose a .fund Domain?
The .fund extension launched in 2014 as part of ICANN's new gTLD programme and is operated by Identity Digital (formerly Donuts). It speaks directly to the language of finance — investment funds, charitable funds, crowdfunding campaigns, and grant-making bodies. Because the word "fund" is already embedded in the vocabulary of fundraisers, fund managers, and donors, the domain reads naturally to anyone arriving at the address. It's an unrestricted TLD, so any organisation working with capital, donations, or pooled investment can register one.
Ideal for:
- Venture capital and private equity firms
- Charitable foundations and grant-making trusts
- Crowdfunding campaigns and GoFundMe-style projects
- Hedge funds and investment management firms
- University endowments and scholarship programmes
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .fund domain.
- Operated by Identity Digital, one of the largest new gTLD registries.
- Some short, generic, or financially loaded terms (e.g. money-related keywords) are designated as premium names by the registry and carry higher annual fees.
- If you operate a regulated fund, check that your domain name complies with FCA or local regulator naming rules before promoting it publicly.

Frequently asked questions about .fund
Anyone. The .fund TLD has no eligibility restrictions — you don't need to be a regulated financial entity or registered charity to buy one. That said, if you intend to use the domain to solicit investment or donations, make sure your activity complies with the rules of the FCA, Charity Commission, or equivalent regulator in your jurisdiction.
You can register a .fund domain for between one and ten years at a time. Many fund managers and foundations choose longer terms to lock in continuity and avoid the risk of a missed renewal disrupting a live fundraising or investor-facing website. You can also renew at any point during the registration period.
Yes. The registry classifies a portion of short, generic, or high-value financial terms as premium names, which carry higher registration and renewal fees set by the registry itself. Our domain search will show the exact price for any specific .fund name you're considering before you commit to buying it.
Yes. If your .fund domain is currently held with another registrar, you can transfer it to us provided it's at least 60 days old, unlocked at the losing registrar, and you have the authorisation (EPP) code. The transfer extends your registration by one additional year on top of any time remaining.
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 more days where recovery is possible but carries a substantial registry redemption fee. If still unrenewed, it is released and becomes available for anyone to register.
