The new .host domain name extension has entered landrush stage. This means you can pre-order yourname.host with us for the cheapest price before it goes into the general availability stage – where anyone can register .host names – on 17th September.
We’ve secured a special deal which means we’ll be offering .host at a rock-bottom price – £23.99 for one year instead of £55 – a huge saving of 44%!
Perfect for Resellers
If you’re a Heart Internet Reseller, now’s your chance to preorder yourname.host at an amazing price. Short, snappy, and easy to remember, it instantly tells potential visitors what you have to offer them and instantly signals relevancy. If you already have ‘host’ or ‘internet’ at the end of your name, it gives you a chance to make it even shorter.
Custom Name Servers
.host is an ideal extension for name servers, so if you’re a Reseller, you can use it for customisation and branding purposes. Instead of your current custom name server or ‘mainnameserver.com’, you can set up yourname.host. When people perform WHOIS lookups of websites you host, or your customers change their DNS to yours, they’ll see your custom name and you’ll benefit from the added professionalism (and advertising).

Get creative
Register a short name to use as a custom forwarder for your social media links and give your branding even more attention to detail. This extension also presents great opportunities for puns, call to actions, and other creative naming, for example youcan.host, uploadand.host and so on.
Go generic
As .host is a completely new extension, there’s a huge choice of generic keyword names available to pre-order. If your company has a specific selling point or value (such as low prices or environmentally-friendly hosting), take advantage and pre-order the .host. You may want to consider price-led names, short/common adjectives, product/service based names, and your target market (e.g. cheapest.host, nottingham.host, webbuilder.host, unlimited.host, smallbusiness.host, bestuk.host etc).
Protect your brand
Registering your name in .host stops another company trading on your reputation, diverting your traffic and potential customers, or otherwise directing your business to themselves. As we all know, hosting is a competitive market and many businesses are not above taking shortcuts!
Not just for web hosting companies
As everything on the internet is hosted, .host can be used for much more than hosting companies. The extension lends itself well to media (e.g. video.host), personal storage, cloud business storage, GitHub forwarding, client backends, logins, reviews, affiliate websites, and much more.
Pre-order your .host
General availability starts on 17th September, so pre-order your .host now to avoid missing out on your name.
