.quest Domain Registrationfrom £23.72/yr
Why Choose a .quest Domain?
The .quest extension launched in 2018 as part of ICANN's new gTLD programme and is one of a handful of action-oriented domain endings built around an English verb-noun. The word itself implies searching, journeying, and pursuit — making it a natural fit for projects with a mission, exploratory products, or campaigns built around discovery. It's unrestricted, recognisable to English speakers, and short enough to pair cleanly with a single descriptive word on the left of the dot.
Ideal for:
- Personal development coaches and self-improvement bloggers
- Travel writers, expedition teams, and adventure tour operators
- Tabletop and video game studios building RPGs or story-driven titles
- Recruitment platforms and job-search tools
- Non-profits running awareness campaigns or fundraising drives
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .quest domain without proving eligibility.
- Some short, common, or premium dictionary words may sit in a higher pricing tier set by the registry.
- Standard ICANN policies apply, including the 60-day transfer lock after registration and a redemption grace period after expiry.

Frequently asked questions about .quest
Anyone can. The .quest extension is an open, unrestricted top-level domain, so individuals, businesses, charities, and organisations from any country are free to register one. There are no documentation checks, no local presence requirements, and no industry restrictions — registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.
You can register a .quest domain for between one and ten years in single-year increments. Many people choose a longer initial term to lock in the name and avoid worrying about renewals, but a one-year registration with auto-renew enabled works just as well for most projects.
Yes. As long as your domain is at least 60 days old, isn't within 60 days of a previous transfer, and isn't locked at your current registrar, you can move it. You'll need to unlock the domain, request the EPP authorisation code, and start the transfer at the new registrar. Each transfer adds a year to the registration.
After expiry the domain enters a roughly 30-day renewal grace period during which you can renew at the standard price. If you still don't renew, it moves into a redemption period of around 30 days where recovery is possible but carries a higher restoration fee. After that the name is released and anyone can register it.
Yes. The .quest registry permits WHOIS privacy, so you can keep your personal name, address, phone number, and email out of the public WHOIS record. This is particularly useful for personal blogs, side projects, and individual registrants who don't want their home details indexed by data scrapers.
