A .host domain — the hosting provider’s zone
The first year of .host costs €5.33; renewal is €114.89 per year. That is the sharpest price gap of any zone on this site: from year two the domain costs more than twenty times the registration price. Take .host only if you are ready to pay that amount every year.
The zone is narrow and industry-specific: hosting providers, data centres, server control panels, infrastructure status pages. To an outside project it explains nothing, but inside the industry the address reads precisely.
What to consider before registering .host
There are no formal restrictions: you do not have to prove you are a provider. The real decision is economic: if the domain is for a landing page or a test, .site or .cloud is cheaper. Compare the cost of ownership across all technology zones in the technology domains section.
