What is a .buzz domain?
The .buzz domain is built for content that's meant to spread. Viral content sites, marketing campaigns, PR agencies, and social media-driven brands use it to signal that their content is current, shareable, and worth clicking. It carries the energy of trending topics and the informality of social media, which makes it a poor fit for a law firm but a great fit for a content brand.
Who should register .buzz?

What the .buzz registry actually markets it for
The company behind .buzz is dotStrategy Co, a small operation registered in Conway, Arkansas. Look at what dotStrategy promotes the extension for on its own registry site and you get a different picture from the one most registrars paint. Three communities sit in the top navigation: local and tourism destinations, honeybee and apiculture groups, and legal and medical cannabis businesses. Content studios and viral marketing agencies are not mentioned anywhere on it.
That gap is the useful part of this page. Your neighbours in the .buzz zone are as likely to be a beekeeping association or a tourist board as a publisher. The day to day technical operation is not dotStrategy's own: IANA records GoDaddy Registry as the technical contact for the extension, so nameservers and DNSSEC are handled by one of the larger back end operators rather than by a handful of people in Arkansas.
Registration is open. No verification, no paperwork, no residency test. The real cost of a .buzz is the word, which carries a date stamp. Buzz was the vocabulary of social media marketing around 2010, and a name picked for its energy in 2013 can read as slightly period now.
Is .buzz the right choice for you?
We would rather sell you the right extension once than the wrong one twice.
.buzz works well if
- You are naming a campaign, an event or a community project with a short life, where a slightly informal address costs you nothing.
- Your organisation sits in one of the areas the registry itself promotes: beekeeping, a local tourism destination, or a legally traded cannabis business.
- The four letters matter to you. Buzz is easy to say down a phone line and nobody asks you to spell it.
Look elsewhere if
- You want the address to still look right in fifteen years. Slang extensions age faster than the businesses that buy them.
- You sell to UK customers who search locally. A .co.uk carries a UK signal in Google that .buzz does not, and costs roughly a third as much every year.
- You need the domain for professional email into corporate inboxes. Some filtering systems weight unfamiliar low cost extensions, and you inherit that reputation.
Running a UK business rather than a campaign? Register the .co.uk as the permanent address and use the .buzz for the campaign. See .co.uk pricing.
.buzz vs .co.uk: which should you register?
These two answer different questions. A .co.uk says where you are and who you serve, and Google reads it as a UK signal in UK results. A .buzz says what the site is like, and says nothing at all about geography. Neither is a substitute for the other.
On price the gap is wide and it repeats every year for as long as the site exists. If the site is a permanent business address, the .co.uk is the cheaper and more useful buy and the .buzz is a nice extra. If the site is a campaign that ends in six months, the .buzz can carry it on its own.
.buzz domain questions, answered
What people ask us before registering a .buzz domain.
Can't find what you're looking for?
Ask us directlyYes. It has been in the DNS root zone since 12 December 2013 and appears in the IANA authoritative list of top level domains alongside .com and .co.uk. It resolves everywhere, supports DNSSEC, and works with any browser or mail server. The only sense in which it is less real than .com is recognition: a customer who has never seen one may hesitate over it, which is a marketing problem rather than a technical one.
Anyone, anywhere. There is no eligibility test, no local presence requirement and no document to supply. The registry agreement with ICANN is a standard base agreement with no community registration policy attached, so there is no verified sector or membership behind the extension. If you order one, it is allocated the same day, subject only to the name being free and not on the reserved list every new extension carries.
It can, though not for the reason people assume. What decides whether your mail lands is SPF, DKIM and DMARC being set up correctly, plus your sending history. What the extension adds is a reputation you inherit rather than earn, and cheaper newer extensions attract more throwaway registrations than .co.uk does. Set up authentication properly, send from the domain steadily before you rely on it, and keep a .co.uk in reserve if the mail is business critical.
