.vodka Domain Registrationfrom £53.36/yr
Why Choose a .vodka Domain?
The .vodka extension launched in 2014 as part of ICANN's new gTLD programme and is operated by Punkt Tomato. It's an unrestricted, niche extension built around one of the world's most-consumed spirits — meaning distilleries, bars, cocktail bloggers and importers can grab a name that says exactly what they do. Because the namespace is small, short and obvious words are still available, which is increasingly rare on legacy extensions like .com.
Ideal for:
- Independent vodka distilleries and craft brands
- Cocktail bars, vodka bars and lounges
- Drinks importers, distributors and bottle shops
- Cocktail recipe blogs and spirits reviewers
- Vodka tasting events, festivals and brand activations
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .vodka domain. There's no requirement to be a producer or licensed seller.
- Some short, generic or category-defining names (such as flavours, country names or famous cocktails) are reserved as premium and carry higher one-off registration fees set by the registry.
- If you plan to sell alcohol from the site, check the advertising and age-verification rules in your target markets — the domain itself is unregulated, but the goods you sell may not be.

Frequently asked questions about .vodka
Anyone. The .vodka registry has no eligibility restrictions, so individuals, companies, distilleries, bars and bloggers anywhere in the world can register one. You don't need a licence to produce or sell alcohol — although if you intend to actually sell spirits through the site, local laws on alcohol advertising and age verification will still apply.
You can register a .vodka domain for between one and ten years in single-year increments. Longer registrations lock in your name and reduce the risk of accidentally letting it lapse. You can renew at any point during the term, and the renewal simply extends the existing expiry date rather than starting a new one.
Yes. If your .vodka is currently with another registrar, you can transfer it across as long as it's older than 60 days, unlocked at the losing registrar, and you have the auth/EPP code. The transfer adds a year to your registration term, so you don't lose any time you've already paid for.
Yes. The registry classifies certain short, generic or commercially valuable names as premium, with higher one-off registration fees and sometimes higher annual renewals. Standard names register at the regular rate. The domain search will show you the actual price for any name you check before you commit to buying.
After expiry there's a renewal grace period of around 30 days where you can renew at the normal price. After that the domain enters a redemption period of roughly 30 days during which recovery is possible but carries a registry redemption fee. If you still don't act, the name is released and anyone can register it.
