.review Domain Registrationfrom £45.96/yr
Why Choose a .review Domain?
The .review extension launched in 2014 as part of ICANN's new gTLD programme and was created specifically for sites that publish opinions, ratings, and consumer feedback. It sits in the same family as .reviews and is unrestricted, meaning anyone publishing critique — from product testers to film critics — can register one. The name does the heavy lifting: visitors immediately understand they're landing on editorial or comparison content rather than a sales page.
Ideal for:
- Independent product review bloggers and YouTubers
- Affiliate comparison and "best of" sites
- Restaurant, hotel, and travel critics
- Book, film, and game reviewers
- Customer feedback portals for SaaS and service businesses
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register, with no requirement to actually publish reviews.
- The registry reserves a tier of premium names that carry higher annual fees; standard names renew at the regular rate.
- It pairs naturally with .reviews, and many publishers register both to protect their brand from copycats.

Frequently asked questions about .review
Anyone. There are no eligibility checks, geographic limits, or industry restrictions on .review. You don't need to prove that your site publishes reviews, although that's clearly its intended purpose. Both individuals and businesses worldwide can register one, and you can use it for any lawful content.
You can register a .review for between one and ten years in single-year increments. Longer registrations protect you against price changes and accidental expiry, and they're often viewed favourably by search engines as a small signal of site permanence. You can renew at any point during the term to extend further.
Yes. As long as the domain is at least 60 days old, isn't locked at your current registrar, and you can retrieve the EPP authorisation code, you can transfer it across. The transfer typically extends your registration by a year, so you don't lose any time you've already paid for at the previous provider.
Yes, free WHOIS privacy is included with every .review registration. This replaces your personal contact details in the public WHOIS database with forwarding details, which dramatically reduces the volume of spam and scam emails that domain owners typically receive. You can toggle privacy on or off from your control panel at any time.
After expiry the domain enters a roughly 30-day grace period during which you can renew at the standard price. After that it moves into a redemption phase lasting around 30 days, where recovery is possible but carries a registry redemption fee. If you still don't act, the name is released and anyone can register it.
