Make the web address feel personal
Register a .me Domain From 10.33 USD
Personal. Memorable. Yours.
An Address That Sounds Like You.
Think of the name you put on a business card, portfolio link or email signature. .me turns that name into a short, personal web address. For someone using alex.me, it can collect project enquiries, booking requests and returning visitors under one clean destination.
- Lead with a name people already recognise. Use your own name, a short brand or a clear variation instead of a long profile URL.
- Keep the focus on identity. Creators, freelancers and small teams can use .me across social bios, print and digital campaigns.
- Leave room to grow. Start with a simple landing page; add a portfolio, shop or client portal later without changing the core address.

Match the ending to how you work
.me, .com or .io?
Who are you trying to reach? A personal portfolio, a product brand and a technical project may favour different suffixes. Weigh that audience against name availability and long-term cost.

When both spellings are free, register .me and a matching commercial ending, then point one to the other.
After the name is registered
.me 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 .me Domain with Truehost?
Buying the name is the first step. These account features help you connect services, handle messages and keep reliable access to the address people already use.
One-click Cloudflare push
Use the Cloudflare push option to reduce manual DNS entry when linking that service to your registration.
Clear First-Year Cost
10.33 USD / first year
See the live first-year figure before finalising a personal or brand name or ordering printed materials.
Transparent Renewal Pricing
TSh 65,546 / 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 you need 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 visitor journey
How to Put Your .me Domain to Work
Someone may first find your work online, send a message and later book a call. 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 your work at alex.me.
- Receive messages via [email protected].
- Offer dedicated spaces such as work.alex.me and book.alex.me.

| View a portfolio | work.alex.me | Case studies, images and project details |

.me Domain Name Rules
Write the exact spelling before you search. The label to the left of .me 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 .me name
Not accepted
Check Sample Spellings
| Candidate | Format Check | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
alex.me | Valid spelling | Uses only permitted characters |
alex-studio24.me | Valid spelling | Combines letters, a middle hyphen and digits |
-alex.me | Invalid spelling | A leading hyphen breaks the format rule |
alex_studio.me | Invalid spelling | The underscore falls outside the allowed character set |
Gather the details you will need
Your .me Registration Checklist
Individuals and organisations worldwide may apply for second-level .me names. No local presence or special documentation 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 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 brands 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 .me 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 65,546. 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.

Questions before you decide
.me Domain FAQs
Practical answers for individuals and brands choosing an address, connecting services or moving an existing registration.
Is .me restricted to people in Montenegro?
No. Second-level .me names are open to individuals and organisations worldwide. There is no local-presence requirement. Third-level names under certain zones remain restricted to Montenegrin entities.
Does the first-year price continue every year?
Not necessarily. The registration figure is 10.33 USD; the separate renewal figure is TSh 65,546. Plan ongoing costs from the renewal amount and review the payable total before each order.
Does .me improve search rankings?
No ending guarantees a ranking position. Choose an address that fits your work, then focus on useful content, a usable website and a clear description of what you offer. 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 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 .me 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 name is already taken?
Try a clear, relevant variation that people can remember, or consider a different ending. Avoid a confusing imitation of another brand. 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 .me does not automatically give you .com; check and acquire the matching registration separately if it matters to your brand.
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 you move, change ownership or replace your contact inbox.
Is transferring a .me 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 .me 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.
