Buying .berlin through Just Domain is not open yet. The price above is real and read live from our registrar; searching a name still returns the real answer. Why.

In plain words

What a .berlin actually is

.berlin costs $87.49 to register with us and $87.49 to renew, at our registrar's own rate with nothing added. It is listed here at that live price but is not on sale through Just Domain yet. .berlin is a domain ending named after a place. It is the most direct way to say where you are in the address itself, and it is worth exactly as much as being local is worth to your customers.

The ending is the part after the dot: the .berlin in example.berlin. Place endings were created so that businesses, institutions and communities tied to a specific city or region could say so in their name rather than in a strapline.

Unlike a country-code ending, a place ending is usually a generic extension with a geographic name, which means the rules are set by whoever runs it rather than by a national government. Some of them do ask you to have a real connection to the place, and where that applies we print it in the requirements section below.

Every figure here is read from our registrar, not typed into this page, and is the total for one registration term rather than a per-year rate. A name can still carry premium pricing set by its registry - the amount shown at checkout is the one that applies.

Who can register it

You can't buy a .berlin here yet

Berlin (.berlin). The registry restricts registration to registrants with a connection to Berlin, and enforces it. Just Domain does not collect or submit that declaration yet, so this ending is listed with its price but cannot be bought here.

What the registry wants on top of standard contact details: berlin_nexus_declaration.

Good fit

Best for - when .berlin fits

This is a read on one group of endings - cities and regions - rather than on .berlin alone. Endings named after a city, region, or continent - local by design. The price, the registry term and the registrant requirements on this page are .berlin’s own, read live from our registrar.

A business whose customers are local. Restaurants, trades, clinics, shops - if people travel to you, the address saying where you are is useful information.

One location of a larger business. A place ending is a clean way to give a branch, market, or regional team its own address.

Community, civic, and cultural projects. Anything that belongs to a place is described accurately by an address that names it.

A local guide, directory, or event. When the place is the subject, the ending is doing real descriptive work.

The honest tradeoff

When .berlin is the wrong pick

A place ending pins you to a place. That is the feature, and it is also the whole risk: if you move, expand, or sell to people who do not care where you are, the address either follows you awkwardly or gets replaced. Businesses that plan to grow past one city often keep a neutral main address and use the place ending alongside it.

Recognition outside the region is limited too. Locally the ending may be well understood; nationally it may read as unfamiliar, and people will still sometimes type the ending they always type. Own your name clearly and print it consistently.

Against the 49 endings we group under cities and regions, .berlin is the most expensive of them per year at $87.49 - the group runs from $3.49 to $87.49 a year. Our grouping, our registrar's live prices, compared per year so a multi-year term cannot flatter itself.
