Share your story with a .blog domain name

.blog is for anyone who wants to share their voice online. Whether you’re a writer, business, creator, or hobbyist, .blog gives you a clear, memorable space to publish content and build your audience.

Everyone from personal bloggers to global brands use .blog.

We do! .blog is proudly operated by Automattic. With deep roots in publishing, we ensure that .blog is reliable, secure, and always ready for your next big idea.

Premium names are short, catchy, or high-value .blog domains that are especially sought after (like travel.blog or tech.blog). They’re priced differently from standard names because of their branding potential and strong recognition value.

A domain name is the human-friendly address people type into their browsers when they’re trying to get to your website, like my-website.com. Websites rely on the domain name system (DNS), which uses numeric addresses to route traffic all over the web. Domain names are assigned to those numeric addresses to make it easier for humans to remember and locate individual websites. 

They work together but are two distinct things. Think of your domain name as your address or location on a map, and your website as your home or store, where you keep your things.

A TLD, or "top-level domain," is the last segment of a web address (URL), after the final dot. Common TLDs are .com, .org, .net, and .blog!

Yes! Once you register a .blog domain name and connect it to your site, you can choose whether it becomes the primary address for your site. You might also decide to keep the existing primary name and have .blog redirect to it.

Many experts recommend that you do. Whether for personal or business needs, if your online identity is important to you then you want to have alternate spellings or common typographical errors. Do you have unique products or services? Grab the domain name for them!
