Wales isn\u2019t just famous for its castles, coastlines, and choirs \u2013 it\u2019s a country full of creativity, community, and pride. Now, you can bring a little bit of that Welsh spirit to the internet with your very own .wales or .cymru domain.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a simple way to show the world (or your neighbours) that you\u2019re Welsh and proud.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

What are the .wales and .cymru domain names?<\/h2>\n

A .wales<\/a> or .cymru domain<\/a> makes it easy to show a clear link to Wales online. It lets visitors know you\u2019re part of this nation\u2019s story, whether you\u2019re running a business, starting a new project, or simply sharing your patriotism for Wales!<\/p>\n

\u2610\u00a0 .wales<\/strong> is the Top-Level Domain (TLD) or domain \u201cextension\u201d that represents Wales on the internet. It was officially launched in March 2015 by Nominet, the UK\u2019s domain registry.<\/p>\n

\u2610\u00a0 .cymru<\/strong> (pronounced \u201ckum-ree<\/em>\u201c) is the Welsh-language equivalent of .wales \u2013 \u201cCymru\u201d being the Welsh name for the nation, and was launched on the same day in March 2015.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why choose a .wales or .cymru domain?<\/h2>\n

Who can register a .wales or .cymru domain?<\/h2>\n

Some \u201ccountry code\u201d or \u201cgeographic\u201d domain extensions (ccTLDs, geoTLDs) may require proof of a connection to the country or region they represent. However, anyone can register a .wales or .cymru domain \u2014 you don\u2019t need a Welsh (or even UK) address!<\/p>\n

The Welsh Government does use certain other extensions, like .llyw.cymru<\/em> and .gov.wales<\/em>, which are reserved for public sector use and need approval from the Welsh Naming and Approvals Committee (WNAC). For personal websites and online businesses, though, .wales and .cymru are a great fit.<\/p>\n
