What is a .review domain?
The .review domain (singular) suits individual critics, single-product review sites, and expert analysis platforms. The singular form distinguishes it from .reviews: where .reviews suggests a directory of many opinions, .review implies considered, in-depth analysis. Film critics, book reviewers, and product analysis blogs find the singular form a better match for their editorial tone.
Who should register .review?
Film critics, book reviewers, product analysis blogs, and expert commentary sites.
Why choose .review?

Why .review and .reviews are not the same product
They look like a singular and a plural of one thing. They are not. .review is operated by dot Review Limited, a company registered in Gibraltar, while .reviews is operated by Dog Beach, LLC, part of Identity Digital in Washington State. Different owners, different contracts with ICANN, different prices, and no coordination between them at all. Choosing between them is choosing between two unrelated suppliers who happen to have bought adjacent words.
The IANA delegation record for .review is worth reading before you commit. The administrative contact on file is not at the registry company: it is at PricewaterhouseCoopers Ltd in Gibraltar. The technical contact is GoDaddy Registry in Arizona, which is who actually keeps the nameservers running. In practice that means the day to day operation is in safe hands while the ownership sits somewhere less conventional than the average extension.
Registration is open and unverified. Nobody checks that you publish reviews, that you are impartial, or that you exist. That matters more here than on most extensions, because the word implies a standard the registry does not enforce, and your readers will assume otherwise.
Is .review the right choice for you?
We would rather sell you the right extension once than the wrong one twice.
.review works well if
- You publish long form criticism under your own name and want an address that states the format: yourname.review reads as a byline.
- You are launching a single subject site where the .co.uk and .com went years ago and the singular word carries the whole meaning.
- The site is editorial rather than commercial, so an extension with no UK geographic signal costs you nothing in local search.
Look elsewhere if
- You are building a business email domain. Lower cost extensions attract throwaway registrations, and some corporate filters weight the whole extension rather than your individual name.
- You want people to find you by typing. Almost everyone types .reviews or .com when they hear a review site named aloud, and the singular is the one they forget.
- You publish customer reviews of your own products. UK consumer law now puts real duties on anyone doing that, and an extension that advertises the fact draws the eye.
Running a directory of many opinions rather than one considered voice? .reviews is the plural and a separate registry entirely. See .reviews pricing.
.review vs .reviews: which should you register?
The practical difference is not grammar, it is ownership and price. .reviews belongs to Identity Digital, the largest new extension operator there is, and sits at roughly double the annual cost of .review. .review belongs to a Gibraltar company whose administrative contact of record is a firm of accountants, and is one of the cheaper extensions on our list.
If people will hear your address before they see it, the plural is safer, because that is what they will type. If your site is one voice writing at length rather than a pile of star ratings, the singular says something the plural does not, and it costs less. Whichever you pick, register the other one too if the budget allows, or a competitor will.
.review domain questions, answered
What people ask us before registering a .review domain.
Can't find what you're looking for?
Ask us directlyThey are run by completely separate companies. .review is operated by dot Review Limited in Gibraltar with GoDaddy Registry providing the technical operation. .reviews is operated by Dog Beach, LLC, part of Identity Digital in the United States. Different registry agreements, different pricing, no shared policy, and holding one gives you no claim on the other. Treat them as two products that happen to look related, and register both if the name matters to you.
Yes, and the rules tightened recently. Schedule 20 of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 lists as banned practices the publication of fake consumer reviews, reviews that hide the fact they were paid for or incentivised, and presenting reviews in a misleading way, such as showing the positive ones and burying the negative. It also imposes a duty to take reasonable and proportionate steps to stop fake reviews appearing. That applies to your content whatever domain it sits on.
It works technically, and the sensible caution is about reputation rather than function. Cheaper generic extensions attract more disposable registrations than a .co.uk, and some corporate filtering systems score by extension as well as by sender. Before you commit business email to any newer extension, check its current standing in a published reputation source such as the Spamhaus reputation statistics, set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC properly, and send from the domain for a while before anything important depends on it.
