How to choose a .shop domain name
Struggling to decide on the best .shop domain name? We’ve got some top tips to make your website stand out.
Size does matter
While your domain name can be up to 63 characters, shorter ones are easier to remember and harder to misspell.
Steer clear of numbers
Using numbers in your domain name can be confusing. If you need to use a number, consider registering a domain for each format.
Keep it simple
A domain name is the first thing people see when they find your site. So keep it short, sweet, and easy to type in a rush.
Avoid special characters
Avoid characters like exclamation marks and underscores. And if you need to use a hyphen, don’t put it first or last.

Frequently asked questions
What is a .shop domain name?
As the perfect domain name for any type of online store, .shop can be used to reach customers all over the world to sell any type of product – such as clothing, music, furniture, electronics and more. This domain clearly marks your website as an ecommerce storefront, letting users know exactly what they’re getting into.
Who is a .shop domain for?
A .shop domain is perfect if you’re running an online shop. Maybe you’re giving your Etsy shop a unique rebrand, or you’re setting up from scratch. A .shop domain does exactly what it says on the tin.
Why use a .shop domain?
With so many online stores being created all the time, it’s getting harder to stand out and catch the attention of consumers. One easy way to set yourself apart is to register a .shop domain instead of a .com. Plus, this instantly lets users know the purpose of your website, helping you to get more useful traffic.
Is .shop domain registration difficult?
It's easy to register domain names. All you have to do is use our domain availability checker. Simply search for an available domain name, enter some details, and you're good to go.
Once you’ve completed your domain name registration, you’re ready to build a website or add an Email Hosting package.
How long can I register a .shop domain for?
.shop domains can typically be registered for a minimum of one year, with options for multi-year registration.
I already have a .shop domain. Can I transfer to Fasthosts?
Transferring your .com domain name to us is easy and completely free. Visit our domain transfers page for more information.
Can you help me find the perfect .shop domain?
Of course! Here are a few of our top tips when you're choosing a domain name for your business:
- Protect your brand and register similar extensions (e.g. get your .shop domain alongside a .co.uk or .com domain).
- With social media applications and services like X and Facebook, it's generally a good idea to secure usernames that match your .shop domain name.
- Keep it simple. Names that are longer or have hard-to-spell words may lead potential visitors to end up on the wrong website or on a 404 page. Shorter names will make it easier for customers to find you.
Can I sell my .shop domain name?
Because we give you full access to your DNS (domain name system) records, we make it as easy as possible for you to transfer your domain names to other people. This means you can easily sell your .shop domain if you don’t need it anymore.
