.house Domain Registrationfrom £63.74/yr
Why Choose a .house Domain?
The .house extension launched in 2014 as one of Donuts Inc.'s early generic TLDs (Donuts is now part of Identity Digital). It was created for the property and real estate sector, but it has been adopted equally by music labels, fashion houses, and creative collectives that trade on the word "house". Registration is unrestricted and the namespace still has plenty of short, single-word availability compared with .com.
Ideal for:
- Estate agents and letting agencies
- Independent record labels and house music producers
- Property developers and architects
- Interior designers and home staging studios
- Holiday rental and short-let businesses
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .house domain.
- Operated by Identity Digital (formerly Donuts), one of the largest new gTLD registries.
- Some short, common dictionary names are flagged as premium by the registry and carry higher renewal fees every year — check the price before you commit.
- Standard registration terms run from 1 to 10 years.

Frequently asked questions about .house
Anyone. The .house TLD is open and unrestricted, with no requirement to be an estate agent, property professional, or based in any particular country. Individuals and businesses can register it for any lawful purpose, whether that's selling property, running a record label, or building a personal brand around the word "house".
You can register a .house domain for any term between 1 and 10 years in single-year increments. Longer registration periods help protect against accidental expiry and can be useful for businesses planning long-term branding. You can renew at any point during the registration to extend the term.
Yes. To transfer a .house domain, unlock it at your current registrar, request the authorisation (EPP) code, and start the transfer with us. The domain must be at least 60 days old and not within 60 days of a previous transfer. A successful transfer adds one year to the registration term.
Yes. The registry, Identity Digital, classifies a portion of dictionary words and short names as premium. Premium domains carry an elevated registration fee that also applies at every renewal, not just the first year. The search tool will clearly flag any premium pricing before you add a name to the basket.
After expiry there is a roughly 30-day grace period during which you can renew at the standard price. After that the domain enters a redemption period of around 30 days where it can still be recovered, but a registry redemption fee applies. Once redemption ends the domain is released and may be re-registered by anyone.
