Buy your .green domain today

A .green domain suits organizations whose work is environmental, including renewable energy companies, sustainability consultants, conservation groups and eco product brands.

It is also used by larger companies that want their sustainability work on its own address rather than inside a subfolder of the main site. Businesses built around recycled materials, low-waste manufacturing or circular models often choose it for the same reason.

Anyone can register a .green domain on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no environmental credential to provide and no verification step.

The registry does ask that names are not used in ways that damage the purpose of the extension, but registration itself is open. The name you choose should make your work clear, since the extension does not describe it on its own.

A .green domain and a .eco domain differ mainly in verification. .green has no eligibility requirement, while .eco asks every registrant to complete a public profile and take a sustainability pledge before the name becomes active.

.eco can also request evidence to support eligibility, asks registrants to review their profile periodically and can suspend names that do not comply.

If a visible, verified commitment matters to your audience, .eco provides one. If you want a clear environmental word without that process, .green is the simpler option.

No, a .green domain does not require any proof of environmental practice. The registry does not assess how sustainable a business is before allowing registration.

That means the extension signals your subject rather than certifying your standards. Any specific claim about your practices belongs in your content, supported by the certifications or data behind it.

A .green domain is a reasonable choice even if your sustainability work is ongoing rather than complete, provided your website is accurate about where you are.

Environmental claims are held to the same standards wherever they appear, so describe what you actually do rather than implying more. Being specific about the parts of your operation that have changed is more credible than a broad claim.

If your environmental work is a small part of the business, a .green address may promise more than the site delivers.

Yes, a .green domain works for custom business email as well as a website, and it reinforces your subject in every message you send.

Set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC through your email provider. This is worth doing before you send campaign or supporter mail in volume, since it helps confirm your messages are genuine.

A .green domain typically renews at a higher price than the first-year rate, and promotional first-year offers widen that difference.

Check the renewal price before you register rather than only the introductory rate. If this is a long-term address, registering for several years up front can make the ongoing cost easier to plan for.

The word green carries meanings beyond the environment, including a color, a surname, a golf term and a political movement, so a .green domain is less specific than it first appears.

That works in your favor when the word is already part of your brand and against you when you need the address to say environment unambiguously. If precision matters more than brevity, a longer descriptive name may communicate better.

A .green name can contain letters, numbers and hyphens and must be between one and 63 characters. Hyphens cannot appear in the third and fourth positions together.

Before registering, check the name against existing brands and trademarks and search the matching social handles so your branding stays consistent across channels.
