The .bible zone is a generic extension for the Bible, the collection of scriptures central to Christianity, which includes texts shared with Judaism. A name in .bible tells visitors that a site concerns the text, its translations, its study or the communities that read it. Churches, study groups, Bible schools and publishers may all use the ending. Use the availability form just below this text to see whether your name in .bible is still available.

A short history
The Bible has been copied, translated and studied for many centuries, and it is now available in hundreds of languages. The .bible extension is one of the newer generic endings. Religious communities, scholars and publishers have used it to present study materials, reading plans and translation projects under a clear and respectful address.
Who runs it
A registry operator runs the zone under a published policy that sets the rules for registrations and for acceptable content. Registrars take orders from customers and submit them on the registry's behalf. Read the operator's current policy before you order, so that you know what material the site may carry.
Rules in practice
- Content: keep material respectful and within the operator's published policy and the law where you publish.
- Copyright: some modern translations are protected, so check the permissions before you post long passages.
- Holder details: enter the details of the church, group or publisher accurately, as they appear in its official records.
- Continuity: a community's address should stay with the community, even when its leaders change.
Who uses .bible
- Churches and congregations that publish services, events and contact details.
- Study groups and Bible classes that share reading plans and notes.
- Bible schools, seminaries and training programmes for teachers and leaders.
- Publishers, translators and researchers who present texts and resources.
Strengths
- The word states the subject plainly, so visitors know what they will find.
- The name is short and easy to read on a notice board or in a service announcement.
- It suits a wide range of communities, from a local congregation to an international translation project.
Things to keep in mind
- Communities use different translations and traditions, so describe your own approach clearly and respectfully.
- Copyright and licensing terms for translations differ, so credit each source and check permissions for each text.
- Visitors may still expect .com or a local address, so consider whether you need both.
- Pages for prayer requests and pastoral contact often collect personal data, so explain how that information is used and protected.
Tips before you register
- Check the name in .com and on the platforms where your congregation or group already meets online.
- Use the official name of the church, group or school as it is recorded.
- Publish service times, contact details and a short statement of your beliefs and practice.
- Add mail authentication records before you send newsletters or event invitations from the domain.
- Give more than one trusted person access to the registrar account, so renewal does not depend on a single person.
Frequently asked questions
Can a small group with no formal organisation use .bible? Yes. A study group can use the name, provided it meets the current terms and its content is accurate and respectful.
Does .bible help a church appear in local search? It signals the subject, but a complete listing, service times and genuine local reviews matter more.
Can I publish my own Bible translation on a .bible site? You can, as long as you own the rights to the text or have permission to publish it, and you make clear which parts are your own work.
