Register a .ltd Domain From 9.23 USD
Corporate. Compact. Yours.
A Professional Ending for Your Limited Company.
Consider the name that appears on your invoices, letterheads and digital profiles. .ltd places that name under a concise corporate extension. For a business such as northgate.ltd, it gathers client enquiries, supplier messages and returning customers into one consistent destination.
- Lead with the name clients already recognise. Use your trading title or a clear variation instead of a long social-profile link.
- Signal commercial standing. Limited companies and professional practices can use .ltd across local and national materials.
- Leave room to expand. Start with a simple contact page; add a shop, booking system or client portal later without changing the core address.

.ltd, .co.uk or .com?
Who do you expect to reach most often? A UK limited company, a local trade and an international consultancy may prefer different suffixes. Weigh that audience against name availability and long-term cost.

Practical applications
A .ltd Domain for the Business You Are Building
A domain becomes valuable when people use it. These examples show how one address can support a public presence, client enquiries or a growing limited company.
Find Your .ltdEstablished Business
Put Your Company on the Map
Give clients one consistent address for opening hours, services and first contact.
Service Business
Open a Professional Digital Front
Connect the domain to booking, quotes and resources, then print it on invoices and vehicles.

Brand Consistency
Cover the Ways Clients Search for You
When both spellings are free, register .ltd and a matching UK ending, then point one to the other.
After the purchase
.ltd Domain Management, Made Clear
Once registered, the address needs 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.
Day-to-day administration
Why Manage Your .ltd Domain with Truehost?

One-click Cloudflare push
Use the Cloudflare push option to reduce manual DNS entry when linking that service to your registration.
Transparent First-Year Cost
9.23 USD / first year
See the live first-year figure before finalising a company name or ordering printed materials.
Clear Renewal Pricing
TSh 143,286 / year
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 company 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.
Connect the client journey
How to Put Your .ltd Domain to Work
A client may first find your company online, send a message and later place an order. 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 business at northgate.ltd.
- Receive enquiries via [email protected].
- Offer dedicated spaces such as shop.northgate.ltd and account.northgate.ltd.

| Place an order | shop.northgate.ltd | Catalogue, basket and payment journey |

.ltd Domain Name Rules
Write the exact spelling before you search. The label to the left of .ltd 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 .ltd name
Not accepted
Check Sample Spellings
| Candidate | Format Check | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
northgate.ltd | Valid spelling | Uses only permitted characters |
north-gate24.ltd | Valid spelling | Combines letters, a middle hyphen and digits |
-northgate.ltd | Invalid spelling | A leading hyphen breaks the format rule |
north_gate.ltd | Invalid spelling | The underscore falls outside the allowed character set |
Gather the details you will need
Your .ltd Registration Checklist
Individuals, limited companies and organisations may apply for .ltd. No proof of incorporation 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 company 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 businesses and relevant rights before adopting a name for commercial 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 .ltd Expires?
An expired address can interrupt more than a website: contact forms, password resets and client 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 143,286. 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
Plan Beyond the First Year

Questions before you decide
.ltd Domain FAQs
Practical answers for limited companies and professional practices choosing an address, connecting services or moving an existing registration.
Is .ltd restricted to limited companies?
No. Any individual or organisation may hold a .ltd registration. There is no requirement to prove incorporation or limited-company status. 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 9.23 USD; the separate renewal figure is TSh 143,286. Plan ongoing costs from the renewal amount and review the payable total before each order.
Does .ltd improve search rankings?
No ending guarantees a ranking position. Choose an address that fits your business, then focus on useful content, a usable website and a clear description of the company. 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 business 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 .ltd 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 company name is already taken?
Try a clear, relevant variation that people can remember, or consider a different ending. Avoid a confusing imitation of another business. Do not assume that an inactive-looking website means the registration is available to buy.
Should a matching .co.uk point to the same website?
If you control both registrations, you can choose a primary address and configure the other to redirect there. Buying .ltd does not automatically give you .co.uk; check and acquire the matching registration separately if it matters to your business.
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 company moves, changes ownership or replaces its contact inbox.
Is transferring a .ltd 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 .ltd 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.
