.com
A generic extension in our generic group, run by Verisign. £10.99 for the first year, £11.99 a year to keep, £118.90 over ten years — transfers in cost £11.99.
The renewal is close to the first-year price, so a short term costs you nothing in the long run.
.com facts
The original commercial extension and still the one people type from memory. Registered names run into the hundreds of millions, which is why short one-word .com names are rare and often carry premium pricing.
Why people choose it
It is the default assumption. If someone hears your name once, .com is where they look first — worth owning even when your main site sits elsewhere.
Typical uses
Businesses of every size, personal brands, and anyone who wants the version of their name nobody has to spell out on the phone.

.com questions, answered
Who can register a .com domain?
Anyone, anywhere. The registry places no restrictions on who may hold one.
What does .com cost to keep?
First year £10.99, renewals £11.99 a year, and £118.90 for ten years in total. The flat renewal means a one-year term costs you nothing extra over time.
Can I move a .com domain to URSY later?
Yes. A transfer costs £11.99 and, where the registry allows it, adds a year to the expiry date. Your DNS records travel with the domain so nothing goes offline.
Does .com support international characters?
Yes — accented and non-Latin names are supported. Type the name as you write it and our converter shows the punycode form the registry stores.
Is WHOIS privacy included?
Yes, free for as long as you hold the domain, on every extension that permits it. Your name and address are replaced by a privacy contact in the public record.
