Planned prices: The prices on this page are planned prices. The offer you receive in reply to your request is binding. Until the registrar is connected, domain prices come from sample data.
What is .com?
.com is the most registered extension worldwide. Short, meaningful names are often taken; our search then suggests variants and other extensions.
Registry: Verisign.
Who can register?
Open to everyone — no residency or documentation requirements. Holder data is verified through the registrar process under ICANN rules.
Rules and technology
A .com name may be up to 63 characters long. After a registration or transfer, ICANN rules impose a 60-day lock during which the domain cannot be moved again. The zone is DNSSEC-signed.
Who is .com for?
The first choice for internationally oriented brands, SaaS products and anyone whose customers are not tied to one country.
Pricing without renewal shock
A .com domain is planned at €16.68 per year at Sigma Hosting, including 20% VAT. The renewal price is identical: no teaser offer in the first year and no surprise on the second invoice. A transfer from another provider also costs €16.68 and extends the term by one year.
Domain registration is in preparation; until the registrar is connected, the prices are planned prices. You can take your domain to another provider at any time with the auth code.
Our tip
Secure the .com variant of your brand even if you mainly use .at — it protects against confusion and phishing.
