Frequently asked questions about the .CLOUD domain
Why is .cloud renewal so cheap compared to registration?
ARUBA PEC applies a pricing structure where the initial acquisition cost ($23.99) is almost double the annual renewal ($12.99). This may reflect a market penetration strategy to attract new registrations. For long-term projects it is highly advantageous: from the second year, .cloud is the most affordable themed tech extension in our catalogue.
Does .cloud rank well on Google for cloud-related searches?
Google treats .cloud like any other generic gTLD, with no algorithmic advantage based on the extension. However, the semantic coherence between the extension and the type of service can improve CTR (click-through rate) in search results — a .cloud for a cloud service immediately tells the user they are in the right place.
Does IBM use a .cloud domain?
Yes. IBM Cloud uses ibm.cloud as the domain for its cloud platform, validating the extension in the most demanding enterprise market. Oracle also uses oracle.cloud for its cloud services.
Does .cloud require mandatory HTTPS?
No. The .cloud is not preloaded in the HSTS list. At miHosting, free SSL is available with one click on any hosting plan.
