.skin Domain Registrationfrom £23.72/yr
Why Choose a .skin Domain?
The .skin extension was delegated in 2016 as part of ICANN's new gTLD programme and is operated by Identity Digital (formerly Donuts). It speaks directly to two thriving industries: skincare and dermatology, and the gaming and modding community where character skins are a multi-billion-pound market. The shared keyword makes it instantly clear what your site is about, whether you sell serums, share routines, or trade Counter-Strike skins.
Ideal for:
- Skincare brands and cosmetics retailers
- Dermatology clinics and aesthetics practitioners
- Gaming skin marketplaces and trading platforms
- Modders, texture artists, and game customisation communities
- Beauty bloggers, estheticians, and routine reviewers
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .skin domain.
- Run by Identity Digital, one of the largest new gTLD registries, which also operates extensions like .live, .style, and .shopping.
- Some short, generic, or high-value terms are classified as premium and carry higher registration and renewal fees set by the registry.
- Standard ICANN policies apply, including the 60-day transfer lock after registration or change of registrant.

Frequently asked questions about .skin
Anyone, anywhere. The .skin TLD is unrestricted, with no requirement to prove you work in skincare, dermatology, or gaming. Individuals, businesses, and organisations from any country can register, subject only to standard ICANN policies and the registry's acceptable use terms.
You can register a .skin domain for between one and ten years in single-year increments. We recommend registering for multiple years where budget allows — it locks in continuity for your project and removes the risk of forgetting a renewal during a busy launch period.
Yes. As long as the domain is older than 60 days, unlocked at your current registrar, and you have the EPP authorisation code, you can transfer it to us. The transfer typically completes within five to seven days and adds a year to your existing registration term.
Yes. The registry classifies certain short, generic, or commercially desirable names as premium, with higher registration and renewal fees that apply for the lifetime of the domain. Our search tool will flag premium pricing clearly before you commit, so there are no surprises at checkout.
After expiry there is roughly a 30-day renewal grace period at standard pricing, followed by a redemption period of around 30 days where recovery is possible but carries a higher fee. After that the domain is released for public registration. We send multiple renewal reminders to help you avoid losing it.
