.immo Domain Registrationfrom £57.80/yr
Why Choose a .immo Domain?
The .immo extension is short for "immobilier" and "immobilien" — the French and German words for real estate. Launched in 2014 and operated by Donuts (now Identity Digital), it was created specifically for the European property industry, where "immo" is instantly recognised as shorthand for property listings, estate agencies and real estate services. It has strong recognition in France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and the Netherlands, where buyers immediately associate the suffix with property.
Ideal for:
- Independent estate agents and brokerages
- Property developers and new-build marketing sites
- Holiday let and short-term rental businesses
- Commercial real estate firms operating in Europe
- Property portals and listing aggregators
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register, though it's most effective for businesses targeting French, German or Benelux markets.
- Operated by Identity Digital, one of the largest new gTLD registries.
- Some short, generic property terms are reserved as premium names and carry higher annual fees.
- Supports IDN characters for accented French and German names.

Frequently asked questions about .immo
Registration is open to anyone, anywhere in the world. There are no eligibility checks, no requirement to be a licensed estate agent, and no requirement to be based in a French- or German-speaking country. That said, the extension carries the most weight with audiences in France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria and Luxembourg where "immo" is everyday language.
You can register a .immo domain for between one and ten years at a time. We recommend registering for multiple years upfront if you're building long-term branding around the name, as this protects you from accidental expiry and gives search engines a small signal of stability for your property business.
Yes. As long as the domain is at least 60 days old, not within 60 days of a previous transfer, and unlocked at your current registrar, you can move it across. You'll need the authorisation code (EPP code) from your current provider. The transfer extends your registration by one year on top of the existing expiry date.
After expiry you have a renewal grace period of around 30 days at the standard price. After that the domain enters a redemption period of roughly 30 days where it can still be recovered, but with a substantial restoration fee charged by the registry. After redemption it's deleted and released for anyone to register, so don't rely on getting it back.
Recognition is strongest in continental Europe, particularly French- and German-speaking markets. UK and US audiences may be less familiar with the term, so if your primary market is the British Isles or North America you might also consider .estate, .properties or .homes alongside .immo to cover both audiences.
