.pw domain names

Why a .pw?

Your professional website with a .pw domain name

Professionals around the world can now have a uniquely professional online identity thanks to the .pw domain ending. Anyone can create their own online presence, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish yourself as a professional on the web. Since .com and other big TLDs run out of decent names, experts are forced to compromise by choosing lengthier and less brandable domain names.

Because .pw is a new namespace, your professional identity on the internet can be established with the help of the many short, generic, and first-choice domain name options available with .pw! Instead of settling for something else, choose your first-choice domain name with .pw.

Professionals who want to start an online presence can use .pw to do so

.pw is for everyone, it doesn't matter whether you're a doctor or a lawyer, or a blogger. It doesn't matter if you're a musician or an artist. Use .pw to establish yourself as a professional in your field of expertise.
.pw is a free and open platform: There are no restrictions, nor is any paperwork required to register a .pw domain name.
.pw is global and local at the same time: Even though it was originally assigned to Palau in 1997, it was redelegated and renamed as the "Professional Web" domain in March 2013. Anyone can register a .pw domain name, regardless of where they live. Localize your brand with an IDN-based .pw domain name in the language of your choice.

The "Professional Web" domain name, an open, quality namespace

Available: If you want a professional online presence, .pw has what you're looking for! First-choice names are available in the .pw domain space.
Open: .pw domain names are open to all. Thanks to .pw, businesses and professionals around the world can enjoy a new location online. People are also buying .pw domains to mean "password" since that can be abbreviated "pw." For example, a domain name like forgot.pw could mean "forgotten password."
Safe: The .pw registry has implemented stringent measures to provide a clean & abuse-free namespace for genuine professionals. With zero tolerance towards abuse, you can rest assured that you'll be associated with a reputable namespace.
