Why Get a .LGBT Domain?
Did you know almost 80% of people search for what they need online? Most of them won’t trust a business or organization without a website.
Using a .lgbt domain indicates to visitors that you are a serious organization or business; .lgbt domains have some unique benefits, some of which include:
Increase SEO
Using a .lgbt domain can boost SEO rankings for specific searches.
Domain Privacy
Register your .lgbt domain and ensure customers find you, and not one of your competitors, when looking for your brand online.
Be found
A .lgbt domain is the default domain your customers will look for when trying to find your brand online.
BUILT FOR THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY
What Is a .LGBT Domain?
A .lgbt domain is a sponsored top-level domain built for the global LGBTQ+ community and managed by registry operator Identity Digital. Unlike many extensions, there are no eligibility restrictions to register a .lgbt domain: community centers, advocacy nonprofits, inclusive businesses, healthcare providers, event organizers, and allies can all get an LGBTQ+ domain on a first-come, first-served basis.
What sets .lgbt apart is its acceptable-use policy, which prohibits hate speech, harassment, and content that disparages the community. For visitors, that policy sends an instant signal of trust.
MORE THAN A WEB ADDRESS
Who Can Register a .LGBT Domain?
Organizations choose a .lgbt domain because it tells visitors exactly who a site serves before they read a single word of content. Common registrants include:
- Pride organizations and community centers
- LGBTQ+ health and advocacy nonprofits
- LGBTQ+-owned small businesses and event pages
- Allied brands and inclusive campaigns
A .lgbt domain for businesses and organizations can strengthen relevance signals and click-through for community-specific searches. It also frees up shorter, more brandable names than an already-taken .com domain.

What is a .lgbt domain?
A .lgbt domain is a sponsored top-level domain (TLD) created specifically for the LGBTQ+ community. It is managed by registry operator Identity Digital and was one of the first LGBTQ+-specific domain extensions, launching to the public in 2015. Anyone can buy a .lgbt domain to build a website, blog, or online store aimed at or supportive of LGBTQ+ audiences.
Who can register a .lgbt domain?
Anyone. A .lgbt domain has no eligibility restrictions based on sexual orientation, gender identity, location, or organization type. Individuals, LGBTQ+-owned businesses, nonprofits, community centers, and allied brands can all register a .lgbt domain name on a first-come, first-served basis, the same way you would register a .com.
How much does a .lgbt domain cost?
With HostPapa, you can buy a .lgbt domain starting at $141.99 per year, and renewing at $162.99 per year. That covers registration through an ICANN-accredited registrar.
Does a .lgbt domain help with SEO?
A .lgbt domain does not give you an automatic Google ranking boost over a .com, but it does directly signal your audience and purpose. That relevance can improve click-through rate from search results and brand recall for LGBTQ+ searchers, which supports SEO performance indirectly rather than through a built-in algorithmic advantage.
Can a business use a .lgbt domain?
Yes. LGBTQ+-owned businesses, allied brands, health clinics, travel agencies, and professional services all use .lgbt domains to signal who they serve. An LGBTQ+ domain for business works well as a primary web address or as a companion to an existing .com used for campaigns, pride events, or community-specific landing pages.
How do I set up a website on my new .lgbt domain?
After you register a .lgbt domain, point it to a hosting plan or website builder, choose a template or CMS, and publish. With HostPapa, registration, hosting, and business email can all live under one account, so your .lgbt domain name is ready to connect to a live website within minutes of checkout.
How do I transfer my .lgbt domain to HostPapa?
Unlock your domain at your current registrar, obtain the authorization (EPP) code, then start the transfer from HostPapa's domain search. The process is mostly automated, typically completes within a few days, and adds a year to your .lgbt domain's expiration date.
What's the difference between .lgbt and .gay domains?
.lgbt launched in 2014 and is managed by Identity Digital; .gay launched in 2020 and donates a share of registration revenue to LGBTQ+ nonprofits. Both are open to anyone and prohibit hate speech and harassment, so choosing between a .lgbt domain and a .gay domain often comes down to naming preference and availability.
