Top-level domain
.space domains
Room to build on .space
.space is a generic top-level domain launched in 2014 and run by the registry Radix. The name reads two ways. It nods to aerospace and astronomy, so satellite projects, observatories, and space startups like it, but most owners use the broader meaning of a space: a place to gather, work, or build. That makes it a flexible fit for coworking sites, communities, portfolios, events, virtual worlds, and side projects. It pairs naturally with a one-word brand, as in "maker.space" or "studio.space", where the dot completes the phrase. Availability is the main draw. Because .space is less crowded than .com, short and literal names that are long gone elsewhere are often still open here. Trade-offs are worth weighing. Recognition is lower than .com, some people still default to typing .com, and a few older systems treat newer endings inconsistently. There is no special browser security requirement, unlike .dev or .app. Pricing varies by registrar, and many sell the first year cheaply, so check renewal rates before you commit.

FAQ
What does .space mean or stand for?
It is a generic domain ending that reads both as outer space and as a place to gather or work. The registry markets it for anything from aerospace projects to communities, studios, and portfolios, so the meaning is whatever your brand needs it to be.
Who is .space a good fit for?
Space and astronomy projects, coworking and community sites, creative studios, events, and side projects that want a short, expressive name. It works especially well when the word before the dot completes a phrase, like maker.space or hack.space.
Is .space a good choice compared to .com?
A .com still carries the most recognition and is the safe default if the exact name is free and affordable. Choose .space when the .com is taken or expensive and you want a short, memorable name that matches a community or build-something theme.
How do I check if a specific .space domain is available?
Search the exact name you want, since availability is per domain, not per ending. Type your idea into domainsearch.sh and it will show whether that .space name is open and suggest close alternatives if it is taken.
