.spot Domain Registrationfrom £45.96/yr
Why Choose a .spot Domain?
The .spot extension was delegated in 2015 and is operated by Amazon Registry Services as part of its portfolio of brand-friendly new gTLDs. The word "spot" carries useful double meaning: a physical location (a fishing spot, a surf spot, a coffee spot) and a moment in time (a TV spot, a guest spot). That makes it well suited to local listings, hyper-targeted hangouts, and short-form content destinations where the URL itself sets expectations.
Ideal for:
- Local guides and neighbourhood directories
- Surf, fishing, climbing and outdoor location apps
- Pop-up venues, food trucks and event hosts
- Influencer microsites and creator landing pages
- Photographers showcasing location portfolios
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .spot domain.
- Operated by Amazon Registry Services, the same registry behind .bot, .moi and .you.
- A small number of names are reserved as premium tier and will register at higher renewal rates — these are flagged in the search results.
- Standard ICANN policies apply, including the 60-day transfer lock after registration.

Frequently asked questions about .spot
Anyone. There are no eligibility restrictions on .spot — individuals, businesses, charities and clubs from any country can register one. You don't need to prove a connection to a particular industry or location, which makes it a flexible choice for both personal projects and commercial sites.
You can register a .spot domain for between one and ten years at a time, in whole-year increments. Many customers register for two or three years up front to lock in continuity, then renew on a rolling basis. You'll get expiry reminders well before the renewal date.
Yes. As long as the domain is more than 60 days old, is unlocked at your current registrar, and you have the auth/EPP code, you can transfer it in. The transfer adds one year to the existing expiry date, so you don't lose any time you've already paid for.
Yes, free WHOIS privacy is included on .spot domains where the registry permits it. This replaces your name, address, email and phone number in the public WHOIS record with forwarding details, cutting down on spam and protecting your personal information from scrapers.
After expiry, the domain enters a renewal grace period of around 30 days during which you can renew at the standard price. After that it moves into a redemption period with a higher recovery fee, and eventually drops back to the registry pool where anyone can register it. We send multiple reminders before this happens.
