Why Choose a .ninja Domain?
The .ninja extension launched in 2014 as one of the early waves of new generic top-level domains operated by Donuts (now Identity Digital). It was pitched at experts, specialists and people who quietly excel at what they do — the cultural shorthand of being a "ninja" at something. The extension is unrestricted globally, has no documented eligibility rules, and is popular with freelancers, side-project builders and personal portfolio owners who want a short, punchy alternative to crowded legacy extensions.
Ideal for:
- Freelance developers and designers showcasing portfolio sites
- Marketing and SEO consultants building personal brands
- Indie game developers and small studios
- Coaches, trainers and skill-based instructors
- Side projects, microsites and online tools
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .ninja domain.
- Operated by Identity Digital, the registry behind a large portfolio of new gTLDs.
- Some short, dictionary-word and high-value names are flagged as premium by the registry and carry higher annual fees.
- Standard ICANN policies apply, including the 60-day transfer lock after registration.

Frequently asked questions about .ninja
Anyone. The .ninja extension is unrestricted, with no residency, occupation or trademark requirements. Individuals, freelancers, businesses and organisations anywhere in the world can register one. You don't need to prove you're an expert at anything — the name is yours as long as it's available and you keep the registration active.
You can register a .ninja domain for between one and ten years at initial registration, and renew in the same range. Most customers start with a one or two year term and extend later. Longer terms protect you against price changes and reduce the risk of accidentally letting the name expire.
Yes. Provided your domain is older than 60 days and not within 60 days of a previous transfer, you can move it across. You'll need to unlock the domain at your current registrar, request the EPP authorisation code, and start the transfer on our side. The incoming transfer adds one extra year to your registration.
After expiry the domain enters a renewal grace period of around 30 days during which you can renew at the standard rate. After that it moves into a redemption period, where recovery is possible but carries a registry redemption fee. Once the redemption window closes, the name is released and anyone can register it.
Yes. Free WHOIS privacy is included on .ninja registrations, which masks your personal contact details in the public WHOIS database and replaces them with proxy contact information. This significantly reduces spam and unwanted contact. You can toggle privacy on or off from your control panel at any time.
