What Is a .HOST Domain?
A .host domain name is a website address that ends in .host. It's a generic top-level domain (gTLD), which means the ending isn't tied to a country. Radix launched it in 2014, and anyone can register one.
The word host gives your address a built-in meaning. It points to hosting, hospitality, and anyone who welcomes an audience, so the ending can say what you do before visitors read a word.
Your .host domain registration is the address only. You'll still need a website and web hosting to give people somewhere to land, and you can add both once you've registered your name.
NAMES THAT FIT THE .HOST ENDING
Brand Ideas for Your .HOST Domain
Picture [yourbrand].host on a van, an invoice, or a booking confirmation. Hosting companies and cloud teams can pair a service name with the ending. Agencies can use it for a client-facing portal. A podcaster can buy a .host domain for their show, and a guesthouse owner or event planner can match the word to the welcome they offer.
Say the full .host domain name aloud and ask a friend to spell it. If your first pick is taken, add one clear word, such as a city or a service, instead of numbers.
Not sure about the ending? Compare your name with a .com version before you decide.

What is a .host domain?
A .host domain is a website URL ending in .host. The ending is a generic top-level domain, a domain extension that isn't tied to a specific country. You can choose it for a name connected to hosting or welcoming people. Registering the address doesn't create a website or provide web hosting by itself, but you can grab a Web Hosting plan with it.
Who should choose a .host domain name?
A .host domain name can suit a web hosting business, a digital agency offering hosting, or a business that welcomes guests or runs events. You don't need to use it for every service you offer. Choose it if the word host fits your brand and the address makes sense to the people you want to reach.
Should I choose .host or .com?
Choose .host if you want the ending to reflect hosting or hospitality. Choose .com if you'd rather use the most familiar ending. Search both names on this page and compare the HostPapa prices. A .host domain doesn't give you a ranking advantage over a .com, and a .com doesn't give you one over a .host.
How do I register a .host domain with HostPapa?
Search for your preferred name on this page, choose an available result, and review the registration term and price. Then create your HostPapa account, enter your contact details, and complete checkout. You can manage your domain in the HostPapa Dashboard. If you need help along the way, our PapaSquad is available 24/7.
How do I check .host domain availability?
Use the domain search on this page to check .host domain availability for your preferred name. If it's taken, try a clear variation of your brand name or add a word that describes your service. Review the available results before you choose. A suggested name is an option to consider, not a reason to pick an address that's hard to spell.
How much does a .host domain cost to register and renew?
You'll find the .host domain price in HostPapa's pricing table at the top of this page. Check the registration rate for your initial purchase and the .host domain renewal cost for keeping your address after that term. You can see both prices when you choose your preferred domain name. Review the term and checkout total before you pay, so you can plan for both the first purchase and future renewals.
How do I transfer a .host domain to HostPapa?
To start a .host domain transfer, unlock your domain and request its authorization code, the security code used to approve the move. Search for your existing domain with HostPapa and choose the transfer option. Follow the checkout and confirmation steps. Check for any transfer lock first, including one after a recent registration or contact change. Keep your hosting and Domain Name System (DNS) settings unchanged to help your website and email stay online.
Does a .host domain include web hosting?
No. A .host domain is your website address; web hosting stores the files that make up your site. The word host in the extension doesn't mean hosting comes with registration. However, when you buy a .host domain with HostPapa, you can add a Web Hosting plan to your cart or a Website Builder plan if you want to launch your business online.
Does a .host domain help with SEO?
Choosing a .host domain doesn't give your website an automatic Google ranking advantage. Google treats new generic top-level domains like other generic extensions, including .com. Keywords in the ending don't provide a search advantage. Choose .host because it fits your business, not as a shortcut to higher rankings.
