Why Choose a .holiday Domain?
The .holiday TLD launched in 2014 as part of ICANN's new gTLD programme and is operated by Identity Digital (formerly Donuts). It speaks directly to the travel and seasonal celebration market, giving holiday cottage owners, tour operators, and event planners an instantly recognisable web address. Unlike crowded extensions where the good names are long gone, .holiday still has plenty of short, descriptive names available — and the keyword does the SEO work for you on travel-related searches.
Ideal for:
- Holiday cottage and villa rental owners
- Travel agents and tour operators
- Caravan parks and campsite businesses
- Christmas, Easter, and seasonal product retailers
- Wedding and special occasion planners
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .holiday domain.
- Operated by Identity Digital, which runs hundreds of new gTLDs including .travel-adjacent extensions like .vacations and .tours.
- Some short, high-value names are classed as premium by the registry and carry higher annual fees — these are flagged at checkout.
- Standard registration terms run from 1 to 10 years.

Frequently asked questions about .holiday
Anyone, anywhere. The .holiday extension has no eligibility restrictions, so individuals, holiday let owners, travel agencies, retailers, and businesses of any size can register one. You don't need to be in the travel industry or hold any specific licence — though the name naturally suits travel, hospitality, and seasonal businesses best.
You can register a .holiday domain for any period between 1 and 10 years in single-year increments. Many owners choose multi-year registrations to lock in the name and avoid the risk of forgetting to renew. You can also extend the registration at any point during its term, up to the 10-year maximum.
Yes. As long as the domain is at least 60 days old, isn't locked, and you have the EPP authorisation code from your current registrar, you can transfer it across. The transfer typically adds a year to your registration term, so you don't lose any time you've already paid for.
Yes. The registry classes a portion of short, generic, or highly desirable names as premium domains, and these carry higher registration and renewal fees set by the registry rather than us. Any premium pricing is shown clearly when you search for the name, so there are no surprises at checkout.
After expiry there's a renewal grace period of around 30 days where you can renew at the standard rate. After that, the domain enters a redemption period of roughly 30 days during which recovery is possible but incurs a redemption fee. Once that ends, the name is released back to the public and anyone can register it.
