Who is the .BLOG domain for?
These are the most common situations where .BLOG is the ideal extension.
Personal blogs and digital journals
The most direct extension for a personal blog: yourname.blog or yourtopic.blog tells the reader from the very first character that they will find editorial content.
Standalone corporate blog
Companies that separate their blog from their main website: company.com for sales and company.blog for brand content, improving SEO architecture and clarity of purpose.
Niche publications and media
Digital magazines, specialist publications and niche media that want a URL consistent with their editorial nature without the connotations of .com.
Educational blogs and learning resources
Teachers, trainers and educational content creators publishing articles, guides and tutorials as part of their authority-building and lead generation strategy.

Frequently asked questions about the .BLOG domain
Why does Automattic manage .blog?
Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, acquired the rights to manage .blog in ICANN's first new gTLD round (2012-2013). As the world's largest content publishing platform, it was the natural operator for a blogging-dedicated extension. Automattic operates .blog through its subsidiary Knock Knock WHOIS There LLC.
Do I have to use WordPress to have a .blog domain?
No. Although .blog is managed by Automattic, it imposes no platform requirements. You can host your .blog on any CMS (WordPress, Ghost, Hugo, Astro) or hosting platform. Registration at miHosting is entirely independent of whatever publishing platform you use.
Does .blog rank well on Google?
Yes. Google treats .blog like any other generic gTLD. There is no algorithmic advantage or penalty based on the extension. For a blog with good content, solid technical structure and a link strategy, .blog ranks exactly like a .com with the same characteristics.
Is .blog better than .com for a blog?
It depends on the purpose of the project. If the blog is the core of your business and you have a brand name, .com may have more universal recognition. If the editorial identity is central and you want to communicate it from the URL, .blog is more coherent. Many projects use brand.com for the business and brand.blog for the content.
Does Google have a .blog blog?
Yes. Google uses google.blog as its official corporate blog domain — direct validation of the extension by the world's largest search engine. Spotify, Notion and other major brands also host their corporate blogs under .blog.
Can I transfer my .blog domain to miHosting?
Yes. Transferring a .blog to miHosting has no additional management cost. You need the authorisation code (Auth Code) from your current registrar. The process takes 5 to 7 business days.
