Consider another extension when
- The project is not film-led
- Rights and credits are unresolved
- The name implies an official studio or festival relationship
Research brief
The .film facts that change the decision
This page separates registry policy, public market evidence and registrar pricing. A sample is labeled as a sample; a rule is labeled as a rule; and a checkout quote is never presented as a registry statistic.

How to find a strong available .film
Treat availability as the start of the decision, not the finish. A usable name also needs to be easy to communicate, defensible and fairly priced.
- 01
Start with a name that earns .film
Use a production or filmmaker name people can recognise. Put the filmography, rights status and press contact near the top of the page.
- 02
Search the exact label first
Keep the search scoped to this extension, then compare the exact label with closely related endings before accepting a spelling compromise.
- 03
Check rights and pronunciation
An available result is not trademark clearance. Say the name aloud, check local implications and review the registrar’s final eligibility rules.
Pricing explained
What does a .film domain cost?
The useful number is the full cost of ownership, not the largest promotional figure on a registrar banner.
Lowest verified row: $65.99 for year one
Renews from $65.99
This is the lowest verified provider row, not a recommendation. Compare every available registrar below; a provider gets a price row after its current quote is collected or approved in admin.
