Why .download?

A .download domain name for a file sharing website

Intended for download sites, .download is easily understood by internet users around the world. Buying a .download domain name provides you with a clear web address that serves to easily identify the type of content you offer.

A .download domain name for a targeted use

Whether for free or for sale, offering a download service is an effective way to build your community. If you already have a more traditional domain name — like .com or .net — using a .download domain name lets you offer an online space 100% dedicated to downloads, whether you have your own platform, offer courses online, podcasts, videos, or other exclusive content.

Anyone can register a .download domain name

The .download domain ending is open to everyone. Professionals or private individuals: you can register your domain name in just a few clicks, without having to follow any special .download-specific procedure to do so. These domain names are allocated on a first come, first served basis: it makes sense, then, to reserve your .download domain today! Also good to know: transferring a .download domain will only add one year to the renewal date.
