What is a .company domain?
A .company domain is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) approved by ICANN in 2014, built for any business that wants its address to state its purpose directly. Unlike extensions such as .co or .io, which need context to parse, .company is immediate: a visitor who sees smith.company knows, before they click, that the site belongs to a business.

Why choose a .company domain?
A name that states its purpose
The word "company" needs no context. Where borrowed or abbreviated extensions require a visitor to make a small leap, the .company extension reads correctly on first sight, whether on a business card, in an email signature, or at the top of a search result. That clarity matters most when someone is encountering your brand for the first time.
More availability than .com
Short, common, and exact-match names are increasingly hard to find on .com. Because .company is a newer extension, more of the names businesses actually want are still unclaimed, especially when a name includes "Company" or "& Company," as in Smith & Company. For a business that has already lost its first-choice .com name, .company is often the more direct path to its exact name.
Built for any size or stage
A .company domain works the same way for a two-person startup and a long-established enterprise: there is no size or sector requirement to register one. A business can secure its domain early and keep the same address as it grows without ever needing to change extensions.

Frequently Asked Questions
A .company domain, also called a .company TLD, is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) that lets any business use a domain name ending in .company instead of .com or .net. Approved by ICANN in 2014, it belongs to the same generation of extensions as .info and .website, created to give businesses more descriptive options beyond the original TLDs.
Yes. The .company extension states your business purpose directly, which helps with recognition and trust. It works especially well for names that include "Company" or "& Company," and it is often easier to find your exact name available than with .com.
All four are domain extensions, and none is technically better than another. .com is the long-standing global default. .co is a shorter alternative popular with startups. .io is common among technology and software companies. .company is the most direct of the four: it states your business purpose in the address itself.
Search your preferred name on Zoho Domains and confirm the .company version is available. Add it to your cart, enter your contact details, choose a registration term, and complete payment. The process is the same whether you are registering .company, .ai, or .in.
Pricing varies by registration period and is shown upfront when you search for your domain, whether for .company, .site, or .online. Zoho Domains keeps pricing transparent with no hidden renewal charges. Check the current cost on the Zoho Domains pricing page.
Any business or organization, from new startups to established enterprises. It fits especially well when your name contains "Company" or "& Company" and for groups that describe themselves as a company outside the traditional business sense, such as a theater or dance company. If your focus is narrower, extensions like .services or .digital may describe specialized work more precisely.
Yes, in the sense that it does not hold you back. Google treats .company like any other gTLD, including .space or .technology: the extension itself is not a ranking factor. Content quality, relevance, and site authority are what determine rankings, regardless of the domain ending you choose.
Every domain, including .company, .tech, or .shop, runs on a fixed registration term, typically one year unless you choose longer, and must be renewed to stay active. Zoho Domains offers auto-renewal, and you can track your renewal date with the Domain Expiry Checker on Zoho Toolkit.
A full business website, a landing page for a specific campaign, or professional email. Since .company is a standard gTLD, it behaves technically like any other domain, though it reads more generally than a niche option like .store, which signals an online shop specifically.
Unlock the domain at your current registrar and request the transfer code or authorization code ( EPP code ). Start the transfer through the Zoho Domains transfer page, enter your domain name and the code, and confirm your contact details. The process is identical for a .business domain or any other extension and typically completes within five to seven days with a one-year extension to your registration term.
