Top-level domain
.blog domains
A domain that says exactly what you do
.blog is a generic top-level domain made for writers, publishers, and content communities. The name states the purpose up front, so a reader knows they are landing on something to read before they click. It was launched in 2016 and is operated by a company connected to Automattic (the team behind WordPress.com), though you can use it with any host or platform, not just WordPress. Anyone can register a .blog name, and there are no special DNS or HTTPS rules like the ones .dev and .app enforce. It suits personal blogs, company blogs, newsletters, niche publications, and editorial side projects. The main trade-off is the same as most newer extensions: .com still carries the strongest default recall, and some people instinctively type .com first. .blog works best when the word in front of it is descriptive (recipes.blog, climbing.blog) or when you want a clear, single-purpose home for writing. Pricing varies by registrar. Check whether the exact name you want is free before committing to it.

FAQ
What does .blog mean?
It is a generic top-level domain that signals a site is about writing or publishing content. Unlike some extensions, it is not a country code repurposed for branding; it was created specifically for blogs and content communities.
Who is .blog a good fit for?
Personal bloggers, company blogs, newsletter authors, and niche publications who want the address to describe the site at a glance. It is a strong choice when the word before .blog reads naturally, like travel.blog or coffee.blog.
Is .blog a good fit compared to .com?
It can be, especially when a clear .com is taken or expensive. .com still has the widest recognition and is what many people type by default, so weigh that against how well a descriptive .blog name fits your project.
How do I check if a specific .blog domain is available?
Search the exact name you have in mind, since availability is per domain rather than for the whole extension. Type your idea here and we will show whether that .blog name is open and suggest close alternatives.
