Top-level domain
.online domains
A plain-spoken home for your online presence
.online is a generic top-level domain that reads exactly like the word it is, which makes it easy to say, spell, and remember. It launched in 2015 and works for almost any project that lives on the web: a small business site, a portfolio, an event, a course, or a side venture. Because the namespace is large and relatively young, names that are long gone on .com are often still open here, so you can usually claim a short, exact brand match. .online is an unrestricted gTLD, so anyone can register one and there are no DNS or HTTPS rules like the ones .dev and .app enforce. Registration cost varies by registrar, and intro-year pricing often differs from renewal, so check both. The main trade-off is familiarity: visitors still default to typing .com, and some will assume that is your address. For a clear, descriptive web presence where the right .com is taken or expensive, .online is a practical, honest choice. Use it confidently and make the spelling obvious in your branding.

FAQ
What does .online mean or stand for?
It is a generic top-level domain that simply spells out the word online, signaling that your project lives on the web. It is open to anyone and is not tied to any country or industry.
Who is .online a good fit for?
Small businesses, freelancers, creators, events, and side projects that want a clear, descriptive address. It is especially handy when the matching .com is taken or costly.
Is .online a good choice compared to .com?
It can be, particularly when a short, exact-match name is available that you could not get on .com. The trade-off is that .com is still the default people type, so make your domain obvious in your branding.
How do I check if a specific .online domain is available?
Search the exact name you want, like yourbrand.online, and the tool shows whether it is free to register. If it is taken, try a close variant or a different seed word.
