.productions is an open extension for companies that make things on a project basis: film and TV producers, theatre companies, video agencies, music producers and event organisers. Production companies named Something Productions can use their trading name almost word for word.
PD Hosting, a UK-registered company and Nominet accredited registrar, registers your .productions right after checkout. It appears in your client area with DNS ready, and we send reminders ahead of renewal.
Per year. Compare every extension on our domain pricing page.

Who a .productions domain suits
Independent film and television companies are the obvious match: a documentary maker in Glasgow, a corporate video firm in Bristol, or a two-person drama company called Northlight Productions, who could use northlight.productions. Theatre and touring companies, music producers, wedding videographers and event production crews fit just as well.
It also helps freelancers who work under a company name on credits, call sheets and invoices. A camera operator or editor trading as a limited company can give clients a single address that sounds like a production outfit rather than a personal page.
- A production company's showreel and credits
- Pages for individual films, shows or tours
- Crew call sheets and casting information
- Event production portfolios
- Email for producers and crew
Benefits of a .productions domain
Mirrors company names
"Productions" is a common ending for UK production companies, so the address can match the name on the credits.
Room for every project
One domain can host a page or subdomain for each film, show or tour, keeping your back catalogue together.
Distinctive names available
Short company words are often free in this extension when the .com and .co.uk have long gone.
One domain, many productions
Production companies juggle projects, and buying a new domain for each film or tour soon becomes expensive and hard to track. A .productions name can act as the parent for all of them.
Use subdomains for individual projects: winterlight.northlight.productions for a feature, or tour2027.northlight.productions for a stage tour. Each can point to its own site, booking page or press kit through your DNS settings, with no extra registration to pay or renew. When a project ends, the subdomain can redirect to your showreel, so festival listings and reviews still lead somewhere useful.
If one project becomes big enough to need its own brand, register a dedicated domain for it then. Keep the company domain short, because at eleven letters the extension already makes every address and email longer than average.
.productions pros and cons
Works well if
- Your company name ends in Productions
- You make films, shows, tours or events project by project
- You want one address for a showreel and every project
- Your company's .co.uk or .com is taken
Look elsewhere if
- You want short email addresses: at eleven letters this is one of the longest endings, so a .co.uk keeps them tidy
- Your work is a continuous content stream rather than projects: .media suits it better
- You run a fixed venue or creative space: .studio describes a place more naturally

.productions questions
Do I need industry credentials to register a .productions?
Yes. The registry's ICANN agreement commits it to open registration, so there are no professional requirements. You'll need to confirm the owner's email address after registering, because we verify it for every generic domain and must suspend one we can't.
Can I use one .productions domain for several films or shows?
Yes. Create a subdomain for each project in your DNS settings and point it wherever that project's site lives. There's nothing extra to register.
Is .productions too long for email?
It is long, so keep the part before the dot short and choose brief mailbox names. If your crew send a lot of mail, a shorter .co.uk for email alongside it may suit you better.
What happens if I let a .productions lapse?
We remind you before expiry. Afterwards the site and email stop working, and if the registration is deleted you have 30 days of redemption in which it can be restored before it's released.
What does renewing a .productions cost?
A .productions is £38.95 for each year you renew, more than the discounted first year.
