.solutions is an open extension for businesses that solve a specific problem for clients, from IT consultancies and software houses to energy, payroll and logistics specialists. It is most effective when the first part of the name says exactly what you solve.
We are PD Hosting, a Nominet accredited registrar in London. Your .solutions name is registered the moment checkout completes, ready in your client area for DNS, with renewal reminders sent before it is due.

Who a .solutions domain suits
Business-to-business firms are the natural audience. A Leeds company installing solar panels on warehouses, a Reading firm building stock-control software, a payroll bureau, a compliance consultancy or a fleet-tracking supplier can all describe themselves as providing solutions, and their buyers are used to the word.
It also suits companies that already have Solutions in their registered name, which is common among UK limited companies. If you trade as Apex Data Solutions Ltd, apexdata.solutions drops the repetition and keeps the address shorter than the equivalent .co.uk.
- A consultancy or B2B supplier's main website
- A product site for one software tool or service
- Proposal and case-study microsites for prospects
- Short email addresses for sales teams
Benefits of a .solutions domain
Familiar to business buyers
Procurement teams and managers read the word daily in tenders and proposals, so the address sounds at home in a business setting.
Shortens common company names
Names ending in Solutions can drop that word from the left-hand side, which removes a dozen letters from every link and email address.
An established extension
It has been in the root zone since December 2013, so mail servers, browsers and form validators have had years to recognise it.
Avoiding the vague solutions name
The word "solutions" is so widely used that on its own it says very little. "Smart Solutions" or "Total Solutions" could be almost any firm. The domain works when the part before the dot carries the meaning.
Name the problem rather than the virtue: payroll.solutions, warehousesolar.solutions or dataprotection.solutions tells a buyer immediately whether you are relevant, while totalsmart.solutions tells them nothing. If your company name is abstract, combine it with your speciality, as in apexstock.solutions.
Test it with someone outside your industry. If they can't guess what you do from the address, nor can a prospect skimming search results. A specific name also makes your email addresses more useful: a message from a payroll address is less likely to be ignored than one from a generic brand.
.solutions pros and cons
Works well if
- You sell to other businesses and solve a defined problem
- Your company name already ends in Solutions
- The .co.uk or .com of your name is taken
- You want a separate site for a single product or service line
Look elsewhere if
- You sell mainly to consumers: a .co.uk or .shop feels more familiar
- Your name would be generic without the extension: choose a more specific word or a .co.uk brand name
- You offer hands-on trade services: .services describes that more plainly

.solutions questions
Is .solutions a professional domain for a business?
Yes, when the name is specific. Business buyers are used to the word, and the extension has been in use since 2013. A precise first part, such as the problem you solve, makes it look professional rather than generic.
My company is called X Solutions Ltd. Should I use x.solutions?
It's a tidy option: the address mirrors your name without repeating the word. Keep or register the .co.uk too if you can, because some customers will guess it.
Are there rules about who can register .solutions?
No eligibility rules apply. The registry agreement requires open registration for lawful registrants. Owners must keep accurate contact details, and we confirm the owner's email after registration, as ICANN requires of us.
Will a .solutions name affect my Google ranking?
No. Google treats new generic extensions like .com and gives no weight to keywords in them.
What's the yearly renewal on a .solutions?
Renewal costs £46.95 annually, more than the first-year price, and we email the account holder in advance of each renewal date.
