.report Domain Registrationfrom £37.06/yr
Why Choose a .report Domain?
The .report extension launched in 2014 as part of ICANN's new gTLD programme and is operated by Donuts (now Identity Digital), one of the largest portfolio registries in the world. It speaks directly to documents, findings, and disclosures — anything you publish to inform an audience. Analysts, journalists, researchers, and consultancies use it to host whitepapers, annual reports, market intelligence, and investigative pieces under a URL that signals exactly what's there.
Ideal for:
- Market research firms publishing industry analysis
- Investigative journalists and newsrooms hosting long-form features
- Financial analysts sharing earnings breakdowns and sector reports
- NGOs and think tanks releasing policy papers
- Consultants distributing client-facing whitepapers
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .report domain without proof of profession or business type.
- Operated by Identity Digital, which manages a large stable of descriptive new gTLDs.
- Some short, generic, or high-demand keywords are reserved as premium names with elevated registry pricing.
- Supports DNSSEC for added integrity, which matters for documents people are expected to trust.

Frequently asked questions about .report
Anyone. There are no eligibility checks, geographic limits, or industry restrictions on .report. Whether you're an independent analyst, a global consultancy, a journalist, or a hobbyist publishing data, you can register one as long as the name you want is available and not held back as a registry premium.
You can register a .report for between one and ten years in single-year increments. Many publishers choose multi-year terms to lock in a name attached to an ongoing publication or annual report series, which also reduces the risk of forgetting to renew at a critical moment before a release.
Yes. Provided the domain is at least 60 days old, unlocked at your current registrar, and you have the authorisation code (EPP code), you can transfer it across. The transfer typically extends your registration by one extra year, so you don't lose any of the time already paid for.
After expiry there's a renewal grace period of around 30 days at the standard price, followed by a redemption window of roughly 30 days where recovery is possible but incurs a registry redemption fee. After that the name enters a short pending-delete phase before dropping back into the open pool for anyone to register.
Yes. The registry supports DNSSEC, which helps protect against DNS spoofing — useful when readers need to trust that a published document hasn't been tampered with. WHOIS privacy is also available to keep your personal contact details out of public lookups, an option many independent researchers and journalists prefer.
