The .NAME extension is specifically designed for individuals who wish to register a personalised domain name linked to their family name. This allows you to have a unique, easy-to-remember web address to showcase your online identity. By choosing a .NAME domain, you can create a personal or professional website that reflects your personality or activities. This extension offers a unique opportunity to stand out on the Internet by showcasing your family name in a professional way.

How do I choose the perfect .name domain name for my web project?

Our tips for choosing the perfect .name domain name for your web project are as follows:
1. Think about the purpose of your website and what you want to communicate through your domain name. Choose a name that relates to your identity or activities.
2. Choose a domain name that is short, easy to remember and easy to spell. Avoid special characters and hyphens to simplify the web address.
3. Check the availability of the domain name you want to register with the .name extension. Make sure it isn't already being used by someone else to avoid any ownership conflicts.
4. Think about the durability of your domain name. Choose a name that will remain relevant and professional over time, even if your business changes. By following these tips, you'll be able to choose the perfect .name domain name for your web project and showcase your online identity in a professional way.

What other similar and complementary domain extensions are there as alternatives to .name?

From the vast list of domain extensions available, if you're looking for similar and complementary alternatives to .name that are geared towards personal identity or individual representation, here are three relevant suggestions:
1. .me:
Very popular for personal portfolios, blogs and online CVs. It's an extension that focuses on the individual, similar to .name.
3. .bio:
Ideal for those who want to highlight their biography, professional life or personal interests. This can be a good option for those looking to build an online presence focused on themselves.
5. .id :
Short and to the point, the .id extension can be used to establish an online presence that focuses on the identity of the individual, similar to the use of .name. These extensions offer different shades for those looking to establish an online presence centred around their name or personal identity, each offering a unique angle for personalising their domain.

What is a domain name?

The domain name is the address of a website. The domain allows users to easily find your site on search engines. It consists of a series of letters and/or numbers, separated or not by a hyphen.

In general, your domain is the name of your company, brand, or product. It's the identity of your business on the web.

A domain name consists of three parts, for example for the site www.mysite.com:

  • www.: The subdomain is flexible, you can create several subdomains to redirect to different parts of your site, for example contact.mysite.com, shop.mysite.com, etc.
  • mysite: The second-level domain (SLD) is the name of your site, company, brand, blog... Like the subdomain, this part is 100% customizable to perfectly match your business.
  • .com.fr .net .org .info .site .xyz .fun...: The top-level domain (TLD) completes your identity and contributes to your online visibility. The choice of a domain extension can influence your site's ranking on search engines. Adapt to your target audience. If you target a specific country, choose a domain extension related to that country (.fr .be .lu .eu .paris .jp...)

How to choose your domain name?

The first thing to do when you start creating a website or online store is to choose a domain name. We recommend choosing a domain name that matches these criteria as closely as possible:

  • Simple to write and easy to remember
  • Clear, descriptive, impactful, or evocative of your business
  • Helps your SEO: with keywords
  • With an extension suited to your target country (.fr for France, .be for Belgium, .ch for Switzerland, .lu for Luxembourg, etc.)
  • Find an available domain name with our domain search tool
  • Discover all our domain extensions (over 800)
  • WHOIS: tool to check who owns a domain name and its DNS servers

Made your choice? Whatever domain name you choose, LWS gives you all the tools you need to build your online presence.

How to buy a .Name domain name?

When it comes to registering a .Name domain name, it's first come, first served. Start by checking that your chosen domain name is available and does not infringe on a major trademark, then get started in just a few clicks!

Registering a domain with LWS is easy. Enter your desired domain name in the search bar provided. Check if your ideal domain name is available. If so, add it to your cart and you can buy your domain name! If you're not yet a customer, enter your details and pay online.

What if my .Name domain name is not available?

Want a domain name that's already registered? LWS offers hundreds of other extensions. Enter a similar domain name or an alternative extension that best matches your business.

If you don't want to choose another extension or change your name, contact the current owner of the domain if it's not under Anonymous Whois, which lists contact information, registrar, registration date, expiration date, and update date (if it hasn't been updated for a long time, the owner may not be using it actively). However, GDPR now prevents registrars like LWS from publishing an owner's contact details without their consent if they're not a business. You can still try to contact the owner via their website using your target domain name; most sites have a contact page.

Sometimes, the domain you're looking for is already for sale by its owner. In this case, it's available on the secondary market. Transactions are made directly between seller and buyer or via marketplaces.
