About this extension
What is .group?
.group is a generic TLD for a collective identity. It is flexible enough for a company group or community, so the label needs to state which kind of group visitors will find.

The short answer
Is .group a good domain extension?
Choose .group when the collective structure is central. If the site represents one product or service, compare .company, .org or .community.
Consider another extension when
- There is only one product and no collective story
- The audience may expect a social network
- The group structure is likely to change
Research brief
The .group 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 .group
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 .group
Use a label that names the group or its purpose. Avoid a bare generic phrase that could be mistaken for an unrelated membership service.
- 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 .group domain cost?
The useful number is the full cost of ownership, not the largest promotional figure on a registrar banner.
Lowest verified row: $25.99 for year one
Renews from $25.99
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.

AI naming tools
Use AI for ideas—not fake availability

Direct answers
.group questions
Updated August 15, 2026. Time-sensitive prices and availability must be rechecked at the registrar.
What is a .group domain?
.group is a generic TLD for a collective identity. It is flexible enough for a company group or community, so the label needs to state which kind of group visitors will find.
How much does a .group domain cost?
There is no universal retail price. Registrars set registration, renewal and transfer pricing, and some names are premium. Compare current rows for the exact name before checkout.
Is FlashDomains the .group registrar?
No. FlashDomains compares availability signals and routes registration actions to a registrar with the searched name filled in. The registrar confirms availability, price and eligibility at checkout.
Can a community use .group?
Yes. It is generic and can describe a community, team or business group, provided the site's purpose is clear.
