What is a .delivery domain?
The .delivery domain connects businesses that bring products and food to customers' doors. Courier firms, meal delivery services, grocery delivery apps, and logistics companies all benefit from a domain that describes the core service. In a post-pandemic economy where home delivery is default, the extension carries more weight than ever.
Who should register .delivery?
Courier companies, meal delivery services, grocery delivery platforms, and last-mile logistics providers.
Why choose .delivery?
- Describes the service in the URL
- Growing demand for delivery businesses
- Works across food, retail, and logistics
- Builds trust with convenience-focused customers

What a .delivery domain costs a local courier
Start with the bill, because on this extension it is the odd part. Registration is £46 a year here and a transfer in is £52, so moving an existing .delivery to us costs more than starting a fresh one. Most extensions charge the same for both, and a .co.uk transfer costs nothing whatever. That is simply how this one is priced, so read both figures on this page before you order either.
Past the money, the test is whether delivery is your business or a feature of it. Couriers, same-day and overnight operators, meal kit companies, prescription and pharmacy services, white-glove furniture crews: for those the word describes the entire product and the address is accurate. A restaurant that also delivers, or a shop that posts things, is in a different position. Delivery is an attribute there, and an address that leads with it oversells one part of the offer while saying nothing about the rest.
Then there is where the work comes from. Delivery is bought locally, by postcode, usually from a phone. Google's own documentation is clear that a country-code domain tells search engines a site is intended for a particular country, while a generic extension carries no such signal and needs a target set for it explicitly. A .delivery domain starts flat on exactly the searches a local operator lives on.
The extension entered the root zone on 16 October 2014 under Binky Moon, LLC, part of Identity Digital. There is no courier licence to produce and no logistics trade body to join, so anyone may register one. That is worth knowing in both directions. It says nothing about you, and it says nothing about a competitor who has one either.
Is .delivery the right choice for you?
We would rather sell you the right extension once than the wrong one twice.
.delivery works well if
- Delivery is the product rather than a feature: a courier firm, a same-day network, a meal kit company or a prescription service.
- You are launching a delivery arm that needs to read as its own brand rather than an add-on to an existing shop.
- Your operating name is long, and the extension lets you drop the word delivery from the front of an already unwieldy address.
- You sell to trade customers who arrive by referral and email rather than through a local Google search.
Look elsewhere if
- It is among the dearest extensions in this group at £46 a year, and a transfer in costs more again at £52.
- Your customers search by postcode. A generic extension carries no UK signal, where a .co.uk tells Google exactly which country you serve.
- You deliver as one part of a wider business. An address that leads with delivery undersells everything else you do.
Winning work from local search and postcode enquiries? The .co.uk is the address to own, and it transfers free. See .co.uk pricing.
.delivery vs .co.uk: which should you register?
For a delivery business working a defined area, this comparison is close to one-sided, and the price is the smaller part of it. A .co.uk tells Google the site is meant for the United Kingdom. A .delivery tells it nothing about geography at all, and geography is the whole basis on which local delivery work is won.
Where .delivery earns its keep: naming, and only naming. If the business is called Ashcroft and does courier work, ashcroft.delivery is shorter and cleaner than ashcroftcourierservices.co.uk, and it reads well on a van and a uniform. That is a real benefit and it is not nothing.
Where .co.uk wins: price, search, and the fact that a UK customer types it without thinking. It costs a fraction as much each year, transfers between registrars free of charge and near instantly on an IPS tag change, and carries the country signal that a postcode-based business needs. Our steer is to own that one and let the .delivery point at it.
| .delivery | .co.uk | |

| Transfer cost here | Around £52 | Free |
| Transfer speed | Hours to a few days | Near instant |

.delivery domain questions, answered
What people ask us before registering a .delivery domain.
Can't find what you're looking for?
Ask us directlyBecause the transfer price on this extension is set higher than the registration price, which is unusual but not unique. Registration is £46 a year here and a transfer in is £52. There is no trick in it and nothing you can do to avoid it, so the practical advice is to read both figures on this page before deciding whether to move an existing domain or register a new name. By contrast a .co.uk transfer costs nothing at all.
No, and this is the strongest argument against it for a local firm. Google treats it as a generic extension with no country attached, whereas a .co.uk tells search engines directly that the site is intended for the United Kingdom. Local delivery work is won on postcode searches from a phone, which is precisely where that signal counts. Own the .co.uk for search and use the .delivery as the memorable name on the van.
Usually not. For a restaurant, delivery is one channel alongside covers, collection and events, and an address that leads with it makes the kitchen sound like a logistics firm. It also puts you a step behind on local search, which is where hungry people at eight on a Friday actually start. A .co.uk with the restaurant name on it does more for both the brand and the bookings.
No. The registry publishes no eligibility policy for this extension, so there is no operator licence to produce, no insurance to evidence and no trade body membership to prove. Anyone anywhere may register one. That means the address is not a credential, and a customer choosing between two couriers should be looking at your insurance and your terms rather than at what comes after the dot.
