.space Domain Registrationfrom £42.98/yr
Why Choose a .space Domain?
The .space extension launched in 2014 and is operated by Radix, one of the larger new gTLD registries based in Dubai. It was created as a flexible alternative to crowded legacy extensions, with the word "space" working as both a literal reference to outer space and a metaphor for any creative, professional, or community area online. It has been adopted widely by astronomy projects, coworking brands, artists, and SaaS products looking for a short, available name.
Ideal for:
- Astronomy clubs, space agencies, and aerospace startups
- Coworking spaces and shared studios
- Personal portfolio sites and creator hubs
- SaaS workspaces and online community platforms
- Event venues and pop-up galleries
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .space domain with no documentation required.
- Operated by Radix, the same registry behind .online, .site, .tech, and .store.
- A small pool of short, generic names is held back as registry premiums and carries higher annual fees.
- Supports DNSSEC and standard registrar transfers using EPP authorisation codes.

Frequently asked questions about .space
Anyone. The .space extension is fully unrestricted, which means individuals, companies, charities, and organisations from any country can register one without proving eligibility or providing supporting documents. You simply need to choose an available name and complete the standard registration with valid contact details.
You can register a .space domain for any term between one and ten years at initial registration, and renew it in the same increments. Choosing a longer term locks in your name and avoids the risk of forgetting to renew, which is the most common reason people lose a domain they care about.
Yes. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, request the EPP authorisation code, and start the transfer from your account. The domain must be at least 60 days old and not within 60 days of a previous transfer. A successful transfer adds one extra year to the registration term.
After expiry the domain enters a roughly 30-day renewal grace period during which you can renew at the standard price. After that it moves into a redemption period of around 30 days where recovery is possible but carries a registry redemption fee. If still unrenewed it is eventually released for public registration.
Yes. The registry supports DNSSEC for signed DNS records, which helps protect visitors against DNS spoofing. WHOIS privacy is also available so your personal contact details are masked in public WHOIS lookups, while the registry still holds your real information for legal and administrative purposes.
