Why Get a .DIY Domain?
Did you know almost 80% of people search for what they need online? Most of them won’t trust a business or organization without a website.
Using a .diy domain indicates to visitors that you are a serious organization or business; .diy domains have some unique benefits, some of which include:
Increase SEO
Using a .diy domain can boost SEO rankings for specific searches.

YOUR SPACE ON THE WEB
What Is a .DIY Domain Name?
A .diy TLD is a web address built for do-it-yourself creators, makers, crafters, and home improvement enthusiasts. It's an open generic top-level domain (gTLD), which means anyone can register a .diy domain with no special credentials and no location requirements.
Your domain extension tells people what you're about before they even visit your site. With a .diy domain name, that message is instant. If you're running a home renovation blog, teaching woodworking on YouTube, or selling handmade goods through your own site, visitors know exactly what they'll find the moment they see your address. And because .diy is a niche extension, you've got a much better chance of finding a name that actually matches your brand. It's your spot on the web, shaped around what you do.

What is a .diy domain?
A .diy domain is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) for websites focused on do-it-yourself projects, tutorials, crafts, home improvement, and hands-on skills. The extension stands for Do It Yourself and is open for registration by anyone, worldwide, with no eligibility requirements based on location or industry.
Who can register a .diy domain name?
Anyone can register a .diy domain, and there are no eligibility requirements based on location, industry, or organization type. It's available on a first-come, first-served basis. Popular registrants include DIY bloggers, crafters, home improvement contractors, tutorial creators, hardware retailers, and makers of all kinds.
Is the .diy TLD good for SEO?
How do I transfer my existing .diy domain to HostPapa?
What happens when my .diy domain expires?
If you don't renew your .diy domain name before the expiration date, it enters a grace period during which you can still renew it. After that, a redemption period applies before the domain is released for public registration. HostPapa sends renewal reminders well in advance, and you can turn on auto-renewal in your dashboard so your domain stays yours.
Does HostPapa include WHOIS privacy with .diy domain registration?
Can I use a .diy domain with any website builder or hosting provider?
Yes. A .diy domain registered with HostPapa can be pointed to any hosting provider or website builder by updating your domain's DNS settings in your HostPapa dashboard. You can also bundle it directly with HostPapa's Web Hosting, Website Builder, or WordPress Hosting for a single-provider setup.
Can I register a .diy domain for multiple years?
Yes. HostPapa lets you register a .diy domain for between 1 and 10 years at the time of purchase. Registering for multiple years keeps your site connected to the address your audience knows, with no gaps in ownership.
What's the difference between a .diy domain and a .com domain?
A .diy domain name is a niche extension that tells visitors and search engines what your site is about before they arrive. A .com domain is a general-purpose extension with no topical signal. For DIY creators and businesses, .diy is often more relevant to your brand, and you're far more likely to find the exact name you want, since most short .com names are already taken.
