A .space domain is a web address like www.yourname.space on the .space domain extension. It is meant for creative work across disciplines and is used by creatives such as designers, illustrators, photographers, musicians, multi-hyphenates, and others.
Yes, a .space domain name on the .space domain extension is legitimate because the .space gTLD, or generic Top-Level Domain, is delegated under ICANN's New gTLD Program and managed by Radix, the largest portfolio registry in the world. It is fully ICANN-accredited, operates under the same governance model as .com, and has already been registered by 650K+ people worldwide.
.space domains are used by creatives such as designers, illustrators, photographers, musicians, multi-hyphenates, and others. There are no limitations on what a creative can use .space for portfolio, personal website, project landing page, creative studio as long as the work is creative in nature, it belongs on a .space domain. .space is the #1 choice in domain extensions for creative work* that doesn't fit in a template and wants the freedom to grow and evolve.
*Based on .space Domains' analysis of domain extensions used in over 150K domain names for websites across 9 creative disciplines, registered between January 2025 and February 2026.
The standard price to register a .space domain is $25 per year. We are also offering a special $0.99 promo price on first-year registrations on this website. Outside of standard pricing for standard domains, the cost of owning a .space domain can vary depending on any promotions or introductory offers available at registrar storefronts or domain sellers (such as GoDaddy, Namecheap, Hostinger, etc.), with promotional first-year rates often well below the standard rate, so it's worth comparing first-year and renewal costs across registrars before you commit. Premium, short, or high-demand names cost more and are priced separately by the registry, but for most names the renewal price, not the intro offer, is the number that actually matters.
.space is managed and operated by Radix, a global domain registry that also manages and operates other gTLDs such as .store, .online, .tech, .site, .website, .fun, and more. .space was originally delegated in 2014 and is available for all to register through www.get.space (right here) or any accredited registrar.
You can register or buy your .space domain directly at www.get.space (here), or you can buy your .space domain through accredited registrar partners such as GoDaddy, Namecheap, Squarespace, Wix, Dynadot, and Porkbun. The process is quick:
- Search for your name, username, or brand name with '.space'.
- Check availability on the registrar platform.
- Add it to cart and choose your registration duration.
- Be sure to stop and check for any deals.
- Sign in or create an account.
- Complete payment and your domain is live!
Yes, they are future-proof in two distinct ways. One, .space operates under a long-term ICANN Registry Agreement, the same contractual structure that protects .com, so it isn't going anywhere as a functioning extension. But the more relevant kind of future-proofing is the second: .space isn't fixed; it grows and evolves with you. From side hustle to studio, from first drops to the work you end up known for. You can start as a photographer and become a director, or grow into an illustrator, dancer, or any creative discipline; your .space domain will grow with you.
Both work identically under the hood, with the same technical considerations that come with using a domain extension and a domain name. The difference that actually matters is in the branding. A .com domain name is generic, but a .space domain like www.yourname.space says, "This is your creative space." It looks intentional, crafted, and like a true, creative extension of you.
Yes, and it works the same way as connecting any domain:
- Point your name servers or A records to your host.
- Verify ownership on the hosting side.
- Your site serves from the new domain.
You keep the domain wherever you registered it, no transfer needed. Propagation can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours.
Yes, you can create and use custom email IDs like [email protected] or [email protected] with your .space domain. You can set these up from the control panel, which you can access by logging in to your account on www.get.space.
Setting them up is easy, and you can find the exact steps through the helpdesk on your .space control panel.
- Register your .space domain and confirm it resolves, meaning it correctly points to a live server, before making any changes to your existing site.
- Set up 301 redirects (a permanent redirect, not a temporary 302) from every important old URL to its .space equivalent, not just the homepage. This preserves most of the SEO value a page had built up.
- Update internal links, canonical tags, and your sitemap so they point to the new .space URLs rather than the old ones.
- Use Google Search Console's Change of Address tool if your old domain was already indexed; this tells Google explicitly that the site has moved, rather than waiting for it to notice on its own.
- Keep the old domain registered and redirecting for at least 6 to 12 months. Search engines and old backlinks take time to fully transfer trust to the new domain.
Your website and email stop working almost immediately, but you still have a window to get them back before they're gone for good. Here's what happens, in order:
- Renewal Grace Period (about 36 days): the domain expires, but you keep full control and can renew at the standard price, no penalty.
- Queued for deletion (about 5 days): if you haven't renewed by the end of the grace period, the domain will be queued for deletion by the registrar.
- Redemption period (about 30 days): you can still recover the domain here, but only by paying a restoration fee in addition to the renewal cost.
- Pending delete (about 5 days): nothing can be recovered during this window; it's the final stage before release.
- Released to the public: the name is now available for anyone to register, and valuable names get grabbed fast.
Yes, .space domains connect with every major website builder through the same DNS setup used for any other domain extension. Add the domain in your builder's settings, then update the A and CNAME records wherever your .space is registered. Propagation can take up to 48 hours, so connect it a day or two before any hard launch.
Yes. A branded www.yourname.space signals ownership in a way a shared profile link never can; platform.link/yourname or socialmedia.link/yourname belongs to the platform; yourname.space belongs to you. It's the difference between a WIP presence and an experienced, credible, and highly professional one. What you build on it still does the real work; the domain is the stage, not the performance.
When you register a domain, WHOIS publicly lists your contact details, name, address, phone number, and email for anyone to look up. Privacy Protect replaces those details with generic registry contact information, so your personal information stays off the public record. We never share your information with third parties regardless.
- Log in to your Control Panel, search for your domain, and open the Order Information view.
- Click the Privacy Protection link.
- Use the toggle to enable or disable it.
- Click Update Status.
No. You'll need to connect your .space domain to a hosting provider or website builder of your choice by pointing your name servers or A records to it.
Along with a .space domain, you need website hosting and possibly a website builder account. Get the name server or A record details from your provider, add them to your .space domain, and it will point to your website.
- Log in to your Control Panel wherever you purchase your domain name.
- Search for the domain name and open the Order Information view.
- Click the Name Servers link.
- Enter up to 13 name servers and click Update Name Servers.
- Log in to your Control Panel, search for the domain, and open the Domain Forwarding Service interface.
- Click Manage Domain Forwarding.
- Enter the destination URL and click Save.
You can delete a domain from your account, but all purchases are non-refundable. Deletion is permanent; your website stops working immediately, associated email accounts and stored messages are removed, and services like Privacy Protection are dropped. After deletion, the domain sits in a Pending Delete Restorable status for 37 days (an ICANN requirement) before it's permanently deleted.
While it's still within the restorable window, find the domain under Your Domains, click Manage, go to Domain Information under the Overview tab, click Restore Now, and complete payment. Restoration takes 24 to 48 hours to process at the registry once payment succeeds.
Yes, transfer charges may apply. A few conditions must be met first: the domain must be more than 60 days old; it can't have been transferred within the last 60 days; Theft Protection/Lock must be disabled; Privacy Protection must be disabled; and it can't currently be expired and in redemption. Once those are clear, you'll get an authorization code from your current registrar to start the transfer.
No. Modifying the registrant's email, name, or company triggers an option to enable a 60-day transfer lock, and once it's on, it can't be lifted until the 60 days are up.
