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.
Your identity, brought to life with a .me domain Alex.me above an illustrative website with layered scenery and a [email protected] email card.

Practical ways the address can work

A .me Domain for the Work You Are Building

A domain becomes useful when people actually use it. These examples show how one short address can support a portfolio, a personal brand or a growing side project.

Find Your .me

Personal Brand

Give People One Place to Find You

Offer a single address for your bio, selected projects and contact details.

Freelance & Studio

Turn Interest into Enquiries

Link the domain to a portfolio, booking form or shop, then print it on cards and invoices.

Creators & Makers

Share Work Without Long Links

Show experiments, releases and updates under a short, memorable address.

Name Consistency

Cover the Ways People Search for You

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.

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.

Coming soon

Free business email

A no-cost mailbox option is planned. Until it arrives, choose a suitable paid service if you need one now.

Coming soon

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.

Confirm the spelling first

.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

  • Plain English letters without accent marks
  • Digits, including any that form part of your brand
  • A hyphen between words, never at the start or end
  • Combinations such as alex-studio24

Not accepted

  • Beginning or ending the label with a hyphen
  • Spaces, underscores or other symbols
  • Hyphens in the third and fourth positions in restricted cases
  • Reserved spellings and names already held by others
Check Sample Spellings
CandidateFormat CheckExplanation
alex.meValid spellingUses only permitted characters

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

  • The legal holder’s full personal or organisational identity
  • An inbox that will receive registration notices
  • Correct contact and postal information for the holder
  • Your chosen spelling, already checked against the permitted format

What registration does not supply

  • Exclusive legal rights to a personal or brand name
  • Hosted mailboxes or web hosting as part of the name alone
  • A permanent registration with no future payments
  • Automatic ownership of matching names under other endings

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.

01Resolving

Active

Confirm that payment arrangements and contact details remain usable while the registration is current.

02Action due

Renewal Due

The displayed renewal charge is TSh 65,546. Complete payment early, especially if approval from another person is required.

03Grace period

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.

04Redemption

Recovery window

Once suspension begins, connected services stop. Recovery may still be possible for a limited time and can involve extra fees.

05Released

Cancelled

After the recovery window closes the unrenewed name is scheduled for release. Another party may then register it; recovery is no longer assured.

Change registrar without renaming

Already Hold a .me Domain?

You can switch the registrar without selecting a new personal address. Prepare account access and DNS details first, then follow the standard transfer process. Registrar transfer and website migration remain separate tasks.

Transfer — TSh 55,666
  1. 01

    Prepare account access

    Locate the current registrar login and confirm who is authorised to request changes. Keep a record of the working DNS configuration.

  2. 02

    Start the receiving order

    Begin a Truehost transfer for the exact .me spelling and obtain the instructions for accepting it.

  3. 03

    Finish the transfer steps

    Follow the authorisation process from the current registrar and Truehost. Confirm that existing website and mail destinations remain correct after the handover.

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.
