.kitchen Domain Registrationfrom £97.84/yr
Why Choose a .kitchen Domain?
The .kitchen extension launched in 2014 as part of Donuts' wave of descriptive new gTLDs, and it does exactly what it says on the tin. It's an unrestricted namespace aimed at anyone whose work centres on the kitchen — cooks, fitters, appliance retailers, recipe writers and food brands. Because the keyword sits to the right of the dot, you get a clean, intent-rich web address without resorting to awkward hyphens or padded names like "thekitchenco".
Ideal for:
- Kitchen design and fitting companies
- Recipe blogs and home cooks
- Appliance retailers and repair specialists
- Cookware and knife brands
- Catering businesses and personal chefs
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register, with no proof of trade or industry membership required.
- The registry classifies some short, generic terms (like surnames or common words) as premium, which carry higher annual fees than standard registrations.
- Standard registration terms run from one to ten years, and the TLD supports DNSSEC for added security.

Frequently asked questions about .kitchen
Anyone, anywhere. There are no eligibility restrictions on .kitchen — you don't need to be a chef, food business or kitchen fitter to register one. Individuals, sole traders and limited companies are all welcome, and there's no requirement to provide trade documentation or industry membership at the point of registration.
You can register a .kitchen domain for any period between one and ten years in single-year increments. We'll send renewal reminders well before expiry, and you can switch on auto-renew in your control panel if you'd rather not think about it. Longer registrations also help signal stability to search engines.
Yes. As long as your domain is at least 60 days old and not within 60 days of a previous transfer, you can move it to us by unlocking it at your current registrar and obtaining the EPP authorisation code. The transfer extends your registration by a year, so you don't lose any time you've already paid for.
Yes, free WHOIS privacy is included with every eligible .kitchen registration. This replaces your personal name, address, phone number and email in the public WHOIS database with forwarded contact details, helping reduce spam and keep your home address off the open internet — particularly useful if you're running a small food business from home.
After expiry there's a grace period of around 30 days during which you can renew at the standard price. After that, the domain enters a redemption phase for roughly 30 days where recovery is possible but carries a steep registry fee. Once that ends, the name is released back to the public pool for anyone to register.
