A generic domain intended for companies and commercial websites of any size.

Yes, you can use it for professional business email addresses with our email hosting.

.business domains are registered through PDR Ltd. (PublicDomainRegistry.com), an accredited registrar, and managed by Motherhost. Motherhost is our brand.

It's an optional yearly add-on you can choose at checkout, where the .business registry allows it. It keeps your personal contact details out of public WHOIS lookups.

From 1 year, and up to 10 years for most extensions. You can renew early from your client area. The renewal price is shown on this page before you buy.

Yes. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get its authorisation (EPP) code, then start a transfer on our domain transfer page. The transfer price includes a one-year renewal, so one year is added to your current expiry date.

Your website and email stop working on the expiry date. For a grace period after that, whose length depends on the extension, you can still renew at the normal price. After that a restore fee applies, and if the domain isn't restored it is deleted and anyone can register it. We email you reminders before your domain expires.
