Why Choose a .love Domain?
The .love extension launched in 2015 as one of the more emotionally charged new gTLDs, originally operated by Merchant Law Group and now under Authentic Web Inc. It works as a complete word in domain names — yourname.love reads as a sentence, not just an address. The extension has been adopted widely by wedding businesses, dating platforms, charity campaigns and personal sites where a memorable, expressive URL matters more than a conventional .com.
Ideal for:
- Wedding planners, photographers and venues
- Dating apps and matchmaking services
- Couples building wedding or engagement sites
- Charities running awareness or fundraising campaigns
- Florists, jewellers and gift retailers
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .love domain with no documentation required.
- The registry reserves a tier of premium names (common words, short strings, popular first names) which carry higher annual fees set by the registry.
- Standard registration terms run from 1 to 10 years.
- .love is a regular gTLD, so it supports the full range of DNS records, DNSSEC and email hosting just like .com.

Frequently asked questions about .love
Anyone. The .love extension has no eligibility restrictions — individuals, businesses and organisations from any country can register one. You don't need to provide proof of trade, identification documents or any local presence. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, with the exception of premium names which are reserved by the registry at higher pricing tiers.
You can register a .love domain for any term between 1 and 10 years in single-year increments. Many couples planning a wedding go for a 2- or 3-year term to cover the planning period and anniversary, while businesses typically register for longer to lock in the name and benefit from the small SEO signal that longer registrations can provide.
Yes. As long as your .love domain is at least 60 days old and not within 60 days of a previous transfer, you can move it to us. You'll need to unlock the domain at your current registrar and obtain the EPP authorisation code. The transfer adds one extra year to your registration period at no loss of remaining time.
After expiry you enter a renewal grace period of around 30 days during which you can renew at the standard price. After that, the domain moves into a redemption period of roughly 30 days where recovery is possible but incurs a substantial registry redemption fee. Once that ends, the name is deleted and released back to the public pool for general registration.
Yes. .love is a standard gTLD that supports MX records for email, full DNS configuration including SPF, DKIM and DMARC, and DNSSEC for cryptographic validation of DNS responses. You can run a website, email and any other internet service on a .love domain exactly as you would on a .com or .co.uk.
