.one pricing

Live pricing is temporarily unavailable for .one.

Live pricing is temporarily unavailable. Search the name you want, or ask us and we will quote it.

Before you register .one

What the price includes: Every .one amount on this page is resolved by the same pricing engine that charges your cart, at the moment the page is built. There is no separate ICANN fee, agency fee or surcharge added later — the figure you see is the figure you pay, in the currency shown.
Premium and reserved names: Some names are classed as premium by the registry and priced individually, usually at the premium rate every year rather than only the first. Search the exact name to see its own quote. If a name's premium status or price changes between your quote and your purchase, the quote is invalidated rather than quietly repriced.
Renewal is not automatic unless you switch it on: Auto-renew is off unless you enable it, and enabling it sets a flag at the registry rather than scheduling a charge here. We email the registrant address before a name expires, so keep a monitored address on the record. If a .one name does lapse, restoring it costs considerably more than renewing it would have — the restore price is in the table above.
Transfers: Transferring .one to us needs the AuthInfo (EPP) code from your current registrar, which they are obliged to give you on request. Where the registry operates a waiting period before a name may move — ICANN imposes one on generic extensions — it is set out in the facts above. That is registry policy, not ours, and we cannot waive it.

Eligibility

Open to anyone, anywhere

Registry: One.com A/S, trading as One Registry, under a registry agreement with ICANN; technical operations run by GoDaddy Registry.

No residency, entity type, sector or documentation requirement, and no local administrative contact. Individuals and companies register on the same terms.
Registration is immediate when the name is free — there is no validation queue of the kind restricted extensions impose.
Two exceptions to the free-for-all are name length and the reserved list: single-character names are not offered at all, and two-character names are sold from the registry's premium tier.
Premium and reserved names behave differently from ordinary ones. A premium name carries an elevated registry fee every year, not just in the first, so check the renewal figure shown above before you commit to one.

Who runs .one, and why that is unusual

Most new gTLDs are run by registry specialists who never sell to end users. .one is different: the operator, One.com A/S, is a Copenhagen hosting company, and the extension was delegated to it at the end of 2014 and opened to general registration in 2015. Technical operations sit with GoDaddy Registry, so the plumbing is the same industrial infrastructure that runs a large share of the namespace, while the policy sits with a European operator under an ICANN registry agreement.

For a buyer, the practical consequence is that .one is a normal, boring, fully unrestricted gTLD — which for a short extension is a genuine feature. There is no community definition to argue with, no nexus statement, no document to upload and no post-registration audit. If the name is free and it is not on the reserved list, it is yours as soon as the order clears.

The premium tier is the only thing to watch

The one place a .one purchase can surprise you is pricing tiers, and it is worth understanding before you fall in love with a name. The registry withholds single-character labels entirely, prices two-character labels as premium, and puts a list of short dictionary words, numbers and well-known terms into the same premium bracket. That is ordinary practice among new gTLDs, but the important detail is that the premium level attaches to the name permanently.

A premium name does not revert to the standard price at renewal. It renews at its premium level for as long as you hold it, which turns a one-off decision into a recurring cost. This is exactly why registration and renewal are both shown live above from the same pricing engine that will charge your cart: the renewal figure is the one that decides whether a premium .one is a sensible purchase, and you should see it before you buy, not a year later.

Terms and lifecycle

What holding a .one actually commits you to

Term: One to ten years, renewable. Because .one is a straightforward gTLD with no eligibility review, a long term is purely a hedge against forgetting a renewal.
If you miss the renewal: The name stops resolving, then sits in a 30-day redemption period during which only you can restore it — for the restore fee shown above, which is much higher than a renewal. After that come 5 days of pending delete, and then anyone can register it.
Transfer lock: ICANN policy locks a gTLD against registrar transfer for 60 days after registration and for 60 days after a previous transfer, so a newly registered name cannot move immediately.
Name availability: The registry maintains reserved, blocked and premium lists. One-letter labels are unavailable, two-letter labels are premium, and a scattering of short dictionary words, numbers and well-known marks sit in the premium tier rather than at the standard price.
DNSSEC and disputes: DNSSEC is supported and the registry publishes a DNSSEC Practice Statement. As an ICANN-contracted gTLD, .one is subject to the UDRP and to the Uniform Rapid Suspension system, so a trademark challenge follows the process you already know from .com.

Fit

Who .one is for

Short brandable names
The good .one names are short in a way the older gTLDs stopped being years ago, and the word reads the same in most European languages. If the name matters more than the extension, that is the argument.
Products, campaigns and internal tools
A separate extension for a single product, an event or a staff-facing tool keeps it off your main domain without inventing a subdomain nobody remembers.
Not a replacement for the obvious one
Customers who half-remember your name will type .com or .ch. .one works best as the name you actively give people, not the one they guess. If you can only hold one address, hold the one they guess.

Comparing short extensions

If you are shopping for a short, brandable address rather than a country code, .io is the other one worth pricing — different registry, very different renewal economics.

Frequently asked questions

Are there any restrictions on registering a .one domain?

None based on who you are. There is no residency, sector or documentation requirement and no local contact. The only limits are on the names themselves: one-letter labels are not offered, two-letter labels are premium, and the registry keeps reserved and blocked lists.

Who actually operates .one?

One.com A/S in Copenhagen, trading as One Registry, under an ICANN registry agreement. GoDaddy Registry provides the technical backend. IANA's root database lists One.com A/S as the sponsoring organisation.

Why is the price different for the name I want?

It is probably a premium name. Short labels, numbers and well-known dictionary words sit in a higher registry tier, and that tier applies to renewals too, not only the first year. The renewal price shown above is the number to judge it by.

What happens if my .one expires?

The standard gTLD sequence. There is usually an auto-renew grace period of up to 45 days when a normal renewal still works, then a 30-day redemption period during which the name stops resolving and only you can restore it at the restore price, then 5 days of pending delete before anyone can register it.

Can I transfer a .one to you immediately after registering it?

No. .one is an ICANN-contracted gTLD, so the 60-day lock after registration and after a previous transfer applies. Once that has passed, unlock the name at your current registrar, get the auth code, and start the transfer here.
