About the .COOL domain

What is the .COOL domain?

The .cool is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) managed by Identity Digital. It was delegated by ICANN in 2014. Its semantic proposal is attitudinal: 'cool' in English is universally understood as 'great', 'modern', 'stylish'. It is a brand identity statement: yourname.cool says what you do is cool before the visitor even opens the page. Similar to .rocks in attitude semantics, but with a more modern, aesthetic and sophisticated connotation than simply being good. Registration costs $33.99/year and renewal $34.99/year.

Frequently asked questions about the .COOL domain

Is .cool too informal for a company?

It depends entirely on brand positioning. For a lifestyle, fashion, art or youth culture company, .cool may be exactly the right tone. For legal, medical, financial or corporate B2B companies, .cool may create dissonance with client expectations.

Are .cool and .rocks the same?

They have similar positive attitude semantics, but with nuances: .rocks ($16.99/year) has more energy, noise and exclamation ('this really rocks'). .cool ($33.99/year) has a more sophisticated, aesthetic and quiet connotation ('this is genuinely cool'). .cool is closer to the universe of fashion, design and premium lifestyle.

Does the .cool price increase at renewal?

Yes, by $1: $33.99/year registration and $34.99/year renewal — minimal difference.

Does .cool rank well in Google?

Google treats .cool like any generic gTLD. For projects where brand identity and CTR are important, a .cool URL may improve click rates in searches by being more memorable and expressive.

What well-known brands use .cool?

.cool is used primarily by creative projects, fashion brands and lifestyle companies wanting to communicate their aesthetic positioning from the URL. It is a premium extension in its attitude category.

Can I transfer my .cool domain to miHosting?

Yes. The transfer has no additional cost. You need the authorisation code (Auth Code) from your current registrar. The process takes 5 to 7 business days.
