The .click extension is a generic top-level zone, so it is not tied to any country. The word click describes the everyday action of pressing a button or following a link, which makes the ending a natural fit for campaign pages, product launches, apps and tools that invite people to act. Some businesses also use it for a short address that is easy to share. Use the availability form just below this text to see whether your name in .click is still free.

A short history
The .click zone was introduced in the wave of new generic extensions added in the 2010s, when the domain namespace opened to many everyday words. It has since been used by marketers, app makers and online shops, because the word matches a common action online. It is still less familiar to the public than long-established endings, so its reputation depends a great deal on the sites that use it.
Who runs it
The zone is run by a registry operator under a contract with ICANN, the organisation that coordinates the global domain name system. The operator sets the policies for the zone, and accredited registrars sell names to customers and pass the orders on. Operators can update their policies, so read the terms that apply when you order, including any rules on acceptable use.
Rules in practice
- Acceptable use: the operator may restrict certain kinds of content or activity, so check its rules before you build the site.
- Contact data: the holder details must be accurate, and the registrar may ask you to confirm them.
- Length and characters: names use letters, digits and hyphens, and a single label can be up to 63 characters long.
- Renewal: enable auto-renewal, because a name that lapses can be picked up by someone else.
Who uses .click
- Campaign pages and product launches that need a short, memorable address.
- Apps, online tools and games that want the name to suggest an immediate action.
- Shops and service providers that run a separate site for one campaign or one launch.
- Creators and small brands that send visitors to one page from a video, a post or a card.
Strengths
- The word describes an action, so visitors can guess what the site wants them to do.
- The name is short and easy to say, which helps in a video, a podcast or a printed flyer.
- The zone is not tied to a country, so it can serve an audience in several places.
Things to keep in mind
- Some visitors and e-mail filters may be cautious about names linked with clickbait, so keep the content clear and honest.
- A newer generic ending may be less familiar than .com, so put the full address on every page and card.
- Campaign names are often short-lived, so decide whether the domain should serve one project or a long-term brand.
- Operators can change their rules, so an older registration may need updated details later.
Tips before you register
- Check the same name in .com and decide whether a second address is worth owning.
- Choose a name that matches the real purpose of the site, not only a word that sounds exciting.
- Set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC records before you send e-mail from the domain.
- Build a clear landing page with a short description and a visible way to get in touch.
- Turn on two-factor login for the registrar account and keep the recovery details current.
Frequently asked questions
Is .click only for advertising sites? No. It is a generic zone and can be used for any honest project, although the name suggests action, so the content should match it.
Does a .click name help a site rank higher? No ending can promise a ranking. Search engines weigh the content and the links to a site first, so choose the name for clarity.
Can I move a .click name to another registrar later? Transfers are usually possible, but the operator's timing and lock rules apply, so plan the move in advance.
