About the .CITY domain

What is the .CITY domain?

The .city is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) managed by Identity Digital. It was delegated by ICANN in 2014. Its semantic proposal is geographical and urban: 'city' evokes urban space, local community, city life. It is the natural extension for travel and urban tourism guides, local service platforms, smart city and civic initiatives, brands with strong urban identity and any project whose value is defined by the city where it operates or that it describes. Fixed price of $23.99/year for registration and renewal. No restrictions.

Frequently asked questions about the .CITY domain

Does .city require being in a specific city?

No. .city has no geographical restrictions. Any project from anywhere in the world can register it, regardless of location. What matters is the relevance of the 'city' concept to the project, not the registrant's location.

Does .city have fixed registration and renewal pricing?

Yes. .city maintains the same price of $23.99/year for both initial registration and renewals.

Does .city rank well in Google for local searches?

Google treats .city like any generic gTLD. For local geographical searches (like 'restaurants in Barcelona' or 'events in Madrid'), what matters is localised content and Google My Business, not the TLD.

Is .city suitable for a city council?

Yes, although most public institutions use national domains (.es, .fr, .de) or specific subdomains. .city can be suitable for city digital projects wanting a more modern and international URL: smartcity.barcelona.city, for example.

Can I use .city for a multi-city platform?

Yes. .city does not limit the geographical coverage of the project — you can run a multi-city platform under a .city URL. The semantics work for projects of general urban scope, not just a specific city.

Can I transfer my .city domain to miHosting?

Yes. The transfer has no additional cost. You need the authorisation code (Auth Code) from your current registrar. The process takes 5 to 7 business days.
