IT’S EASY WITH A .CLOUD DOMAIN NAME
Choose a Memorable a .CLOUD Domain
A .cloud domain tells visitors exactly what you're about. If your business runs on cloud computing, sells SaaS products, or delivers digital services, this extension instantly signals your focus point. Instead of competing for a generic .com that's already taken, you can grab a short, brandable .cloud domain name that matches your niche.
The .cloud TLD stands out in search results because it's specific and memorable. While a .com blends in, a .cloud domain name catches the eye of tech-savvy audiences who already think in terms of cloud-first solutions. Companies across cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and digital services already use .cloud to reinforce what they do.
This extension is growing in adoption as more businesses move their operations online and into cloud environments. Its delegation to the DNS root zone happened in 2015, with broader availability in 2016. If you want a domain that positions your brand for the future, .cloud is built for that.

What is a .cloud domain?
A .cloud domain is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) delegated by ICANN and managed by Aruba PEC S.p.A., a major European registry operator. It's open to everyone with no registration restrictions. The .cloud domain name is ideal for businesses and individuals in cloud computing, SaaS, tech services, and digital innovation. It's available globally and works with any hosting provider or website platform.
How much does a .cloud domain registration cost?
At HostPapa, a .cloud domain registration costs $24.99/year to register. Every registration includes free WHOIS privacy protection, DNS management, and email forwarding. You can register for 1 to 10 years, and there are no surprise fees. Multi-year registration locks in your price and helps protect your brand.
Will a .cloud domain help my SEO?
Google treats all gTLDs equally, so a .cloud domain won't rank higher or lower than a .com based on the extension alone. That said, a domain that matches what people are searching for (like cloud-related queries) can improve click-through rates from search results. Content relevance is still the main ranking factor, but a keyword-relevant TLD like .cloud can reinforce your site's topical authority.
Should I choose .cloud or .com?
It depends on your audience. A .com works well for broad, general-purpose websites. A .cloud domain sends a sharper message if your product or service is tied to cloud technology, SaaS, or digital infrastructure. Both are treated equally by Google for search rankings. The .cloud TLD also gives you a better chance of finding the exact name you want, since many short .com names are already taken. If your business lives in the cloud, go with .cloud.
Who can register a .cloud domain?
Anyone. The .cloud TLD has no registration restrictions. Individuals, businesses, and organizations worldwide can register on a first-come, first-served basis. There are no documentation requirements or eligibility criteria.
Can I transfer my .cloud domain to HostPapa?
Yes. Transferring your .cloud domain to HostPapa follows the standard ICANN transfer process. You'll need an authorization code (EPP code) from your current registrar. The transfer typically takes 5 to 7 days and includes a 1-year extension added to your existing registration. Our PapaSquad support team is available 24/7 by chat, email, or phone if you need help at any point along the way.
Is WHOIS privacy included with .cloud domains?
Yes. Every .cloud domain registered with HostPapa includes free lifetime WHOIS privacy protection. This shields your name, address, phone number, and email from public WHOIS lookups. Many competing registrars charge extra for this feature. At HostPapa, it's included at no additional cost with every .cloud registration. Read how to update your WHOIS information.
How long can I register a .cloud domain?
You can register a .cloud domain for 1 to 10 years. Choosing a multi-year registration locks in your current price and reduces the risk of accidentally losing your domain at renewal. For business-critical projects and long-term brands, we recommend registering for multiple years.
Can I use a .cloud domain with WordPress?
Yes. A .cloud domain works with any self-hosted WordPress.org installation. Just point the domain to your hosting provider through DNS settings, and you're good to go. HostPapa also offers WordPress Hosting or Managed WordPress Hosting plans that pair your .cloud domain with a performance-tuned WordPress environment. No platform restrictions apply to .cloud TLDs.
What happens if my .cloud domain expires?
After your .cloud domain expires, it enters a grace period of about 30 days during which you can still renew it at the standard rate. If you miss the grace period, there's a redemption period (typically an additional 30 days) where renewal is still possible but usually at a higher fee. After redemption, the domain is released and becomes available to the public. We recommend enabling auto-renewal to prevent accidental loss, especially for domains tied to your business. Read more on how to renew an expired domain.
