.party Domain Registrationfrom £42.98/yr
Why Choose a .party Domain?
The .party extension launched in 2014 as part of ICANN's new gTLD programme and is operated by Identity Digital (formerly Donuts). It's an unrestricted domain aimed at the events and celebrations industry, but it has also picked up a second life as a popular extension for politically-themed sites, fan communities, and anyone who wants a playful domain hack. The word reads the same in many languages, which gives it broad international appeal.
Ideal for:
- Event planners and party hire businesses
- Wedding and celebration suppliers
- Nightclubs, bars, and venue promoters
- Political parties and campaign sites
- Fan clubs, meetups, and community groups
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .party domain.
- Operated by Identity Digital, one of the largest new gTLD registry operators.
- A small number of high-value keywords are reserved as premium names and carry higher registration and renewal fees.
- Standard ICANN policies apply, including the 60-day transfer lock after registration.

Frequently asked questions about .party
Anyone. The .party extension has no eligibility restrictions, so individuals, businesses, charities, and organisations from any country can register one. There are no documentation requirements and no local presence rules. You simply need to choose an available name and complete the standard registration process.
You can register a .party domain for between one and ten years in single-year increments. Longer registration periods reduce the risk of accidentally letting the name expire and can help demonstrate stability to search engines. You can also renew at any time before expiry to extend the registration.
Yes. As long as your domain is at least 60 days old, is not within 60 days of a previous transfer, and is unlocked at your current registrar, you can move it across. You'll need the authorisation code (EPP code) from your existing provider, and the transfer adds one year to your registration.
After expiry you typically get a grace period of around 30 days to renew at the standard price, followed by a redemption period of roughly 30 days during which recovery is possible but carries a higher fee. After that the domain is released and anyone can register it, so renewing on time is strongly recommended.
Yes. The registry classifies certain short, generic, or high-demand keywords as premium names. These carry higher registration fees and, in most cases, higher annual renewal fees that continue for the life of the domain. The domain search will flag any premium pricing before you commit to buying.
