Frequently asked questions about the .REST domain
Does .rest have fixed registration and renewal pricing?
Yes. .rest maintains the same price of $37.99/year for both initial registration and renewals.
How should .rest be read: as restaurant or as rest?
Both readings are valid and depend on the context of the chosen name. name.rest can be read as 'name restaurant' or as 'rest of name' — the creative ambiguity can be an advantage for certain projects.
Are fine.rest or good.rest good domains?
Yes. fine.rest can work for both a fine dining restaurant and a premium wellness centre. good.rest directly communicates the promise of good rest.
Can a hotel use .rest for its website?
Yes. A hotel or resort focused on the disconnection experience can use hotelname.rest — the domain's double reading reinforces both the accommodation and the rest proposition.
Does .rest rank well in Google for restaurant or wellbeing searches?
Google treats .rest like any gTLD. For food or wellbeing SEO, content, reviews and local presence are the determining factors.
Can I transfer my .rest 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.
