.space is an open extension for anything that's a place, real or online: a studio, a venue, a creative practice or a corner of the internet that's yours. It has no ownership rules, and the word lends itself to names that are easy to remember.
Once you've checked out, your .space is registered and sitting in your PD Hosting client area, with DNS you can set up straight away. We'll remind you before renewal so it doesn't lapse by accident. Search for a name below.

Who a .space domain suits
The word 'space' works on several levels, which is why .space attracts such a varied crowd. Physical places use it: a co-working hub in Sheffield, a yoga studio, a photographic studio for hire, an events venue or a community hall. Creative people use it for a personal space online, a gallery of illustration, a ceramics practice or a writer's notebook.
And it's a natural home for astronomy and space science: an amateur astronomy society, a stargazing tour operator, a satellite start-up or a school science club. Wellbeing and interior design businesses like it too, for names built around calm, room and headspace.
- Studios, venues and co-working spaces
- Artists' and makers' portfolios
- Astronomy societies and space-related projects
- Wellbeing, mindfulness and interior design businesses
- Personal websites and online journals
Benefits of a .space domain
Works as part of the name
Many .space addresses read as a phrase, such as studio.space or calm.space, so the extension adds meaning instead of just finishing the address.
Suits creative and physical places alike
The same ending fits a gallery, a gym, a rehearsal room or an observatory without sounding forced.
Plenty of choice
Short, evocative words that are long gone in .com are often still available in .space.
Names that make a place
A .space is strongest when the address sounds like somewhere you could go. Three patterns are common, and each suits a different kind of owner:
- The venue name plus .space: theoldforge.space or northernlight.space. Good for studios, halls and co-working sites that already have a name.
- A description that ends in 'space': make.space, quiet.space, rehearsal.space. Memorable, but short words like these are often premium and cost more than the standard price.
- A personal name: anyamills.space as an online corner for a creative portfolio or journal, more relaxed than a .com.
Before you commit, say the address aloud and write it on a poster draft. Avoid repeating the word, as in 'myspace-space', and check that the name doesn't read awkwardly when the dot disappears in conversation.
Be aware that .space has seen a lot of short-lived registrations. In Spamhaus's figures for October 2025 to March 2026, about 39 per cent of the roughly 537,000 .space names in the zone had been registered in the previous six months, the eighth-highest share of any gTLD. Rapid churn like that often reflects low-price promotions and bulk buying. It doesn't affect how Google ranks your site, but it's a reason to build a real website on the name and set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC before sending email, so your domain has its own good record from the start.
.space pros and cons
Works well if
- Your business is a physical place people visit, such as a studio or venue
- You're a creative person who wants a relaxed, personal address
- Your project is about astronomy, satellites or space science
- You like a name where the extension finishes the phrase
Look elsewhere if
- You're a mainstream UK business that wants instant recognition: .co.uk or .uk will be trusted faster
- You need low running costs: .space renews at more than its first year, and a .co.uk is far less to renew
- You want a short word in front: many of those are premium-priced in .space

.space questions
What is a .space domain for?
Anything you think of as a space. It's an open generic extension used by studios, venues, co-working hubs, artists, wellbeing businesses and astronomy groups, as well as people who want a personal corner of the web. The registry sets no rules about its use.
Is .space only for space or astronomy websites?
No. Astronomy is one natural fit, but most .space names belong to studios, creative people, venues and personal sites. There's no requirement to have any link to space science.
Why is a short .space name more expensive?
The registry keeps some short or highly memorable words in premium pricing tiers. Those cost more than the standard price shown on this page, and the premium can apply to renewals as well, provided it was disclosed at registration. Longer or more specific names are usually standard price.
How much does it cost to renew a .space?
Each renewal of a .space with us is £36.95 a year. The first year is discounted, so that renewal figure is higher than what you pay at registration.
Will a .space be treated differently by Google?
No. Google has said it treats new generic extensions such as .space like .com, and that keywords in the extension give no ranking advantage. Your content and reputation decide where the site appears.
Can I use a .space address for email?
Yes. A .space handles email exactly like any other domain, so [email protected] works with any mail service. Because it's a newer and popular extension, add SPF, DKIM and DMARC records before you start, and send normal day-to-day mail for a while before any newsletter, so mail providers learn to trust the domain.
Do you check my identity when I register a .space?
We don't ask for documents, but ICANN does require us to verify your email address. You'll receive an email shortly after registering; once you confirm, there's nothing else to do. If it's ignored for 15 days, the domain must be suspended until it's confirmed.
