Register a .news Domain From 15.28 USD
Direct. Editorial. Yours.
A Domain That Signals Reporting.
Consider the byline that appears under every story or the masthead on your homepage. .news places that identity under an extension built for publishing. For a title such as pulse.news, it gathers readers, tips and returning subscribers around one consistent destination.
- Lead with a name readers already recognise. Use your publication title or a clear variation rather than a long social handle.
- Make the purpose obvious. Local outlets and independent writers can both use .news across print and digital channels.
- Leave room to grow. Start with a simple archive; add newsletters, podcasts or member areas later without changing the core address.

Match the suffix to your audience
.news, .com or .org?
Who do you expect to reach most often? A local bulletin, a national desk and an international newsletter may prefer different endings. Weigh that audience against name availability and long-term cost.

Ways the address can serve you
A .news Domain for the Coverage You Produce
A domain becomes useful when people actually use it. These examples show how one address can support a public archive, newsletter signup or independent desk.
Find Your .newsIndependent Outlet
Make Your Stories Easy to Find
Offer one consistent address for latest reports, archive and first contact.
Newsletter & Digests
Grow a Direct Channel
Link the domain to signup forms and past issues, then print it on every send.
Specialist Coverage
Give Each Beat a Home
Share series, source notes and follow-ups without relying solely on social platforms.
Name Consistency
Cover the Ways People Search
When both spellings are free, register .news and a matching general ending, then point one to the other.
Once the name is yours
.news Domain Management, Made Straightforward
After registration the address needs clear instructions for visitors and messages. Use the account tools to keep those connections current, monitor the registration and prepare for any future move.
DNS management
Enter the records supplied by your website platform. Confirm the target carefully before overwriting an existing entry.
Nameserver control
Prefer another provider’s DNS? Apply its nameservers so that provider answers queries for the address.
Renewal management
Note the registration end date early enough to arrange payment and keep the public-facing name active.
Transfer support
Request guidance on shifting registrar responsibility, including the steps the registry expects.

Renewal cost appears separately, so you can plan beyond any introductory registration rate.
Free DNS management
Update website targets and verification records without purchasing a separate DNS-management product.
Free email forwarding
A forwarder sends incoming messages to an inbox you already use; it does not replace a full hosted mailbox.
2FA and domain lock
Enable two-factor authentication and available domain locks to reduce the chance of unauthorised account or transfer activity.
Free business email
A no-cost mailbox option is planned. Until it arrives, choose a suitable paid service if your outlet needs one now.
Free website builder
A free builder is also on the roadmap; do not treat it as available when budgeting for a site you need today.
Not available yet: the roadmap items above form no part of the current purchase. They should not be counted as included email hosting or an included website-building plan.
Link the reader journey
How to Put Your .news Domain to Work
A reader may first discover a story online, send a tip and later subscribe. Each step can share the same identity. Apply each service’s DNS requirements; different providers can still operate behind one domain.
- Invite people to explore the publication at pulse.news.
- Receive tips via [email protected].
- Offer dedicated spaces such as archive.pulse.news and subscribe.pulse.news.

.news Domain Name Rules
Write the exact spelling before you search. The label to the left of .news must follow the registry’s format rules, and a correctly formed spelling can still be reserved or already held by someone else.
Accepted in a .news name
Not accepted
Check Sample Spellings
| Candidate | Format Check | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
pulse.news | Valid spelling | Uses only permitted characters |
pulse-daily24.news | Valid spelling | Combines letters, a middle hyphen and digits |
-pulse.news | Invalid spelling | A leading hyphen breaks the format rule |
pulse_daily.news | Invalid spelling | The underscore falls outside the allowed character set |
Gather the details you will need
Your .news Registration Checklist
Individuals, publications and organisations may apply for .news. No journalism credentials or press affiliation is required. Provide accurate details for the person or body that will hold the registration.
Information you need
What registration does not supply
Before you register
Check related endings
Think about how someone who hears your publication name might type it. Search any important variation before printing an address you may later want to change.
Review existing rights
A successful availability check is not a trade-mark clearance. Look at existing titles and relevant rights before adopting a name for public use.
Use a lasting email address
Select an inbox you can still reach even if this domain later becomes unavailable. That simplifies registration queries and urgent account notices.

Protect a working address
What Happens If .news Expires?
An expired address can interrupt more than a website: tip lines, password resets and reader messages may all depend on it. Arrange renewal before the end date. The registry’s recovery window is a final chance, not a planned renewal method.
Active
Confirm that payment arrangements and contact details remain usable while the registration is current.
Renewal Due
The displayed renewal charge is TSh 107,796. Complete payment early, especially if approval from another person is required.
Expired
During the initial grace window after expiry the address may still resolve. Act at once rather than treating continued service as proof of renewal.
Recovery window
Once suspension begins, connected services stop. Recovery may still be possible for a limited time and can involve extra fees.
Cancelled
After the recovery window closes the unrenewed name is scheduled for release. Another party may then register it; recovery is no longer assured.
Select a registration period

Questions before you decide
.news Domain FAQs
Practical answers for publishers and media projects choosing an address, connecting services or moving an existing registration.
Is .news limited to accredited journalists?
No. Any individual or organisation may hold a .news registration. There is no requirement to prove press credentials or media affiliation. The applicant must still supply accurate details and meet the registry’s terms.
Does the first-year price continue every year?
Not necessarily. The registration figure is 15.28 USD; the separate renewal figure is TSh 107,796. Plan ongoing costs from the renewal amount and review the payable total before each order.
Does .news improve search rankings?
No ending guarantees a ranking position. Choose an address that fits your publication, then focus on useful content, a usable website and a clear description of the coverage. The domain should support that work, not replace it.
Can I register the name before the website is finished?
Yes. You can secure an available registration while the site is still being planned. Keep contact details and renewal arrangements up to date, and connect hosting when you have pages ready to publish.
Does registration include a working email inbox?
No hosted mailbox is created simply by registering an address. Choose a mailbox product if you need to send and receive editorial email; a forwarding feature serves a different purpose and routes messages into an existing inbox.
Must website and email use the same provider?
No. Your website can use one compatible platform and your mail another. Apply each provider’s DNS instructions carefully so a website change does not unintentionally interrupt incoming messages.
Can I keep .news indefinitely?
You can retain the registration by renewing it while eligible and complying with the applicable terms. It is not a one-time permanent purchase. The registry allows durations up to ten years; the options offered in your order appear at checkout.
What if my preferred publication name is already taken?
Try a clear, relevant variation that people can remember, or consider a different ending. Avoid a confusing imitation of another title. Do not assume that an inactive-looking website means the registration is available to buy.
Should a matching .com point to the same website?
If you control both registrations, you can choose a primary address and configure the other to redirect there. Buying .news does not automatically give you .com; check and acquire the matching registration separately if it matters to your outlet.
Why must registration details stay accurate?
The registry or registrar may need to contact you about the registration. Outdated details can make validation, account recovery and urgent notices harder to handle. Update them when your organisation moves, changes ownership or replaces its contact inbox.
Is transferring a .news domain the same as moving hosting?
No. A registrar transfer changes who administers the registration. Website files, databases and mailboxes may remain where they are. If you also want new hosting, plan that migration separately and coordinate any DNS changes.
Can I recover a .news after services stop?
Possibly, if the registration is still inside the registry’s recovery window. Contact the registrar promptly once expiry is noticed; once the name is fully released, recovery is no longer guaranteed and another party may register it.
