.page is a short, open extension for a single web page or a simple site, such as a portfolio, a profile, an event or a link page, and it only works over HTTPS. Google Registry launched it in October 2018, and anyone may register one.
At PD Hosting, a Nominet accredited registrar with its office in London, your .page is active once checkout finishes, so you can connect it to your page builder the same day. Search for a name below.

What is a .page domain?
- Type
- A generic top-level domain without any geographic or professional meaning. Source
- Registry
- Google Registry, as Charleston Road Registry Inc.; .page was added to the root zone in February 2015. Source
- Launched
- October 2018, as the fifth extension Google Registry opened to the public. Source
- Who may register
- No eligibility rules: writers, freelancers, small businesses and organisations can all hold a .page. Source
- HTTPS
- .page and all its subdomains are HSTS preloaded in the major browsers, which open .page addresses over HTTPS only. Source
- Email check
- ICANN obliges us to confirm the owner's email address after a .page is registered or its contact details change. Fifteen days without a confirmation and the name is suspended until you respond. Source

Who a .page domain suits
A .page fits anyone whose online presence is essentially one well-made page: an illustrator's portfolio, a wedding photographer's booking page, a local choir's concert details, a speaker's biography with a contact form, or a link page for a musician's social profiles. Names such as janesmith.page or summerfair.page are clear and easy to say.
It also works for a small business that wants a single landing page for a campaign, a product launch or a menu, without building a full website.
- A portfolio or personal profile
- A link page for social profiles and shops
- A one-page site for an event, wedding or campaign
- A menu, price list or booking page for a small business
Benefits of a .page domain
Says exactly what it is
Visitors expect one clear page at a .page address, which suits portfolios and link pages that don't need a full site behind them.
Encrypted for every visitor
Browsers refuse to load .page over plain HTTP, so contact forms and booking details always travel over a secure connection.
Personal names still free
First-and-last-name combinations that were taken long ago in .com are often still available in .page.
Check your page builder before you register a .page
Like .dev and .app from the same registry, the whole of .page is on the HSTS preload list built into browsers. A browser won't even try a plain http:// connection to a .page name; it goes straight to HTTPS. So the service that hosts your page must be able to serve your own domain with a valid certificate.
Most modern site builders and link-page services issue a free certificate automatically when you connect a custom domain, but not every one does, and some charge for custom domains. Before you register, look in your builder's help pages for 'custom domain' and 'SSL' or 'HTTPS'.
Two things to know once it's live. If the certificate ever lapses, visitors get a full-page security warning that they can't click past, so the page is effectively offline until it's renewed; a builder that renews automatically avoids this. And the rule is only about web pages: email at your .page address, or our free mail forwarding to your existing inbox, works as normal.
.page pros and cons
Works well if
- Your site is a single page or a small portfolio
- Your page builder or host gives custom domains a certificate automatically
- You want a personal name that's taken in .com
- You'd like a short address to print on business cards or posters
Look elsewhere if
- You need a full company website: a .co.uk or .com sets clearer expectations
- Your page service can't serve HTTPS on a custom domain: choose another service or another extension
- You're building an app or developer project: .app or .dev say that better
.page compared with similar extensions
| Extension | Best for | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| .page | Portfolios, profiles and one-page sites | HTTPS only; check your page builder supports it. |
| .me | Personal sites and CVs | A country code used worldwide for personal brands; HTTPS isn't forced. |
| .site | Small general websites | Open and flexible, without the HTTPS requirement. |
| .blog | Writers who publish regularly | Better when the content is an ongoing series of posts rather than one page. |

.page questions
Why won't my new .page load in the browser?
Usually because the service hosting it hasn't issued a certificate for your domain yet. Browsers will only open .page over HTTPS. Check the custom domain settings in your page builder, wait for the certificate to be issued, and the page will appear.
Can I point a .page at a link-in-bio or portfolio service?
Yes, if that service supports custom domains with HTTPS. Add the DNS records it gives you in our DNS editor. If the service can't provide a certificate for your own domain, the .page won't load there.
Does a .page address work for email?
Yes. The HTTPS requirement is a browser rule and has no effect on mail. You can add a mailbox from any email provider, or forward [email protected] to the inbox you use now.
Will a .page hold my site back in Google?
No. Google treats new extensions such as .page like any other generic domain, with no ranking bonus or penalty for the word itself. A clear, useful page is what matters.
Is renewing a .page dearer than the first year?
Yes, a little: a .page renews at £19.95 a year, above the first-year price in the box at the top of this page. We remind you by email before it's due.
