About .racing Domains

Imagine pulling into the virtual pit stop – your online destination for all things racing. But instead of a generic URL, you see a sleek  .racing domain.  

That’s the power of a  .racing domain – it cuts through the noise and lets racing enthusiasts know exactly where they’ve landed: a hub dedicated to the thrill of the race.  

.racing domains offer more than just an address; they’re a statement of passion for the sport.

What about .racing domains?

.racing domains are a specialized type of generic Top-Level Domain designed for motorsports and racing enthusiasts. 

They function similarly to familiar domains like .com or .org, acting as an ending extension for website addresses.

These domains emerged in recent years as part of an effort to expand the naming options available online. 

Before .racing, websites related to racing might have used generic options like .com or opted for location-specific domains (e.g., .co.uk for a UK racing team).  

.racing domains provides a more targeted and memorable alternative.

Availability and Registration:

Registering a .racing domain is generally accessible to anyone, regardless of affiliation. This includes professional race teams, hobbyists, and businesses in the racing industry.

.racing domains are subject to certain registration restrictions to ensure order and prevent abuse. These restrictions typically include:

  • Domain Length: The minimum domain length is 3 characters, and the maximum length is 63 characters.
  • Allowed Characters: Only alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) and hyphens (-) are allowed in .racing domain names.
  • Not Allowed Characters: Spaces, special characters (e.g., $, %, &, etc.), and non-ASCII characters are not allowed.
  • Reserved Words: Certain words or phrases may be reserved by the registry and unavailable for registration.

.racing domain related costs:

Transfers:

Transferring a .racing domain to a new registrar is a straightforward process. Transferring a domain may cause a brief service interruption.
