What is a .productions domain?
The .productions domain is tailored for production companies across film, television, theatre, and events. It signals the business side of creative work: the planning, logistics, and execution that turn ideas into finished productions. From indie film companies to corporate video production houses, .productions positions your firm as the team that makes things happen.
Who should register .productions?
Film production companies, TV production houses, theatre production teams, corporate video producers, and event production firms.
Why choose .productions?
- Signals professional production capability
- Covers film, TV, theatre, and events

Why .productions suits a company name, not a title
If your company is called Something Productions, this extension finishes the name for you. That is the whole case for .productions and it is a good one: the two words to the left of the dot are the distinctive part, the extension supplies the word you would otherwise have to buy space for, and the address reads as the company rather than as a web address. Very few extensions get to do that.
It works far less well for a project. A film, a series, a tour or a festival has a title, not a company name, so .productions ends up describing the business behind the work instead of the work itself. For a single title, an extension that names the medium or the event does more.
Eleven letters is the practical cost, and it is not small. The extension on its own is longer than plenty of complete domains. That shows up on a business card, in an email address and most of all in the moment somebody has to read it down a phone line. Say hello@yourname.productions out loud once and you will know whether you can live with it.
Registration is open and nothing about you is checked. Donuts applied for the string in the 2012 round, IANA delegated it to Magic Birch, LLC in February 2014, and it moved into Binky Moon, LLC with 195 other extensions in March 2018. Identity Digital runs it under the same acceptable use policy as the rest of its portfolio, which is concerned with abuse rather than with whether you have ever produced anything.
Is .productions the right choice for you?
We would rather sell you the right extension once than the wrong one twice.
.productions works well if
- Your company name already ends in Productions, so the extension completes it and you stop paying for the word twice in the address.
- You want the business to read as an operating company rather than a personal portfolio, which matters when you are pitching for commissions.
- The .com version of your two-word name went a decade ago and the alternatives all involve a hyphen or a padding word.
- You produce across formats, film, live events, corporate video, and want one address that does not commit you to any single one.
Look elsewhere if
- You are naming a title rather than a company. .productions describes the firm, so a single film or series is better served elsewhere.
- Length matters to you. Eleven letters in the extension alone makes for long email addresses and a slow read over the phone.
- You are a one-person videographer trading under your own name. .video is shorter, cheaper and says the thing you actually sell.
Trading as a single videographer rather than a production house? .video is shorter, cheaper and more specific. See .video pricing.
.productions vs .studio: which should you register?
These two land on almost the same annual price and get shortlisted together constantly, because the industry uses both words for the same kind of business. They are run by different Identity Digital companies: .productions by Binky Moon, .studio by Dog Beach.
.productions describes what you do, and it commits you: you make things, on a schedule, for clients or commissioners. .studio describes where you do it, and it stretches much further, across design, recording, yoga, tattooing and photography. That breadth is why .studio names are harder to find and why the extension says less about you once you have one.
For a firm whose legal name ends in Productions, there is no contest. For anything else, .studio is shorter by five characters and easier to say, which counts for more than it sounds like it should.

.productions domain questions, answered
What people ask us before registering a .productions domain.
Can't find what you're looking for?
Ask us directlyYes. There is no company registration to show, no showreel to submit and no check that you produce anything. The ICANN registry agreement carries an explicit commitment that second level registrations stay open to lawful registrants and that eligibility will not be limited by identity. Identity Digital's acceptable use policy is what applies afterwards, and it deals with phishing, malware, spam and trademark infringement rather than with your credits.
It is the longest extension in this group at eleven characters, so test it before you commit. An address like accounts@northgatehouse.productions runs to 35 characters, which people mistype and hate reading aloud. Two workarounds are common: keep a short .co.uk for email and point the .productions at the website, or shorten the left-hand side so the whole thing stays manageable. Neither costs much and both save you repeating the address twice on every call.
Usually not. .productions names the company behind the work, so it fits the letterhead and the pitch deck rather than the poster. A single film, series or festival has a title, and a title reads better on an extension that names its medium or its event. The pattern most production companies land on is one .productions for the business, then a separate address per title, retired when the project is.
Binky Moon, LLC, part of Identity Digital, is the operator on the IANA record, and yes, once. Donuts applied for the string in the 2012 round and held it in a single-purpose company called Magic Birch, LLC, which took the delegation in February 2014. IANA transferred it into Binky Moon along with 195 other extensions on 23 March 2018. Existing registrations were untouched, which is the normal outcome when a registry consolidates.
