About .link

The .link domain extension is a generic top-level domain for anyone to register. It is run by Nova Registry Ltd., based in Malta. There are no special eligibility rules. Most people use it for URL shorteners or to create easy to remember web addresses. Nova Registry took over management of .link in 2022 from Uniregistry, which originally launched the TLD in early 2014.

Eligibility & restrictions

None. Open to all registrants.
