What is a .army domain?
The .army domain serves military community groups, veteran support organisations, cadet forces, and regimental history projects. Beyond the literal military, it's also adopted by gaming clans, fitness boot camps, and any group that embraces the "army" metaphor for a dedicated community.
Who should register .army?
Veteran support organisations, cadet forces, regimental history projects, and military-themed fitness brands.

How .army suits communities beyond the military
The literal reading is the smaller half of this extension. Britain's actual army lives at army.mod.uk and always will, and regimental museums and service charities mostly sit on .org.uk. What keeps .army in use is the metaphor: a fan base, a gaming clan, a fitness group, a running club, a following that has decided to call itself somebody's army. The word carries loyalty and a bit of humour, and the extension lets a group say so in a few characters.
It is one of the cheaper community endings we sell, roughly the same as its sibling .democrat and far below .airforce from the same registry, and the pool is small so short names are still around. If you want a single word in front of the dot, this is one of the few places you can still get one.
The limitation is the same as the appeal. It is jokey. On a veterans' charity, a cadet unit or a regimental association it can read as flippant next to a .org.uk, and none of those audiences want flippant. Match the tone to the group before the name to the domain.
Is .army the right choice for you?
We would rather sell you the right extension once than the wrong one twice.
.army works well if
- You run a fan community, gaming clan or supporters group that already calls itself an army, and the short name is free here.
- You are branding a fitness bootcamp or challenge event where the military metaphor is deliberate and the audience is in on it.
- You want a one-word address, which is close to impossible on .com and .co.uk but still achievable in a small pool like this.
Look elsewhere if
- You represent veterans, cadets or a regimental association. The metaphorical use has coloured the extension, and .org.uk reads as more serious.
- Your audience is UK-based and finds you through search. A .co.uk or .org.uk carries a geographic signal that a generic ending does not.
- You need the name to imply official standing. Anyone can register one, so it implies nothing, and a unit name that suggests endorsement is risky.
A charity, cadet unit or regimental association is better served by the extension British supporters recognise. See .org.uk pricing.
.army vs .club: which should you register?
For a community group these are the two real candidates and they say different things. A .club is neutral and understood instantly: it tells a visitor there is a group here and asks nothing else of them. A .army tells them what kind of group, with a wink, and works only if the joke is already part of the identity.
The practical differences are small. Both are open to anyone, both are cheap enough that a small group can carry one, and neither gives you a search advantage over the other. So decide on tone. If the name reads well with the metaphor and the members already use the word themselves, take the .army because it is more memorable. If you are trying to sound welcoming to people who have not joined yet, the .club is the safer door to walk through.
.army domain questions, answered
What people ask us before registering a .army domain.
Can't find what you're looking for?
Ask us directlyYes. The registry agreement carries no community specification and no eligibility rules, so there is no check on military service, veteran status or any affiliation. That is why the extension is used at least as much by gaming groups and fitness brands as by anything military. It also means an address ending in .army carries no authority of its own, so a site claiming a connection to a real unit needs to make that connection explicit rather than implied.
It is legal but rarely the best fit. British supporters and grant-makers expect a charity to sit on .org.uk, that expectation is worth more than novelty when somebody is deciding whether to donate, and .org.uk costs a fraction as much. The metaphorical use of the word by fan groups and fitness brands has also softened how the extension reads. If the charity wants it for campaigns or for a younger audience, hold it alongside the .org.uk rather than instead of it.
More often than on the big extensions, yes. The pool is small, the extension has never been mass-registered, and single dictionary words that vanished from .com in the 1990s can still turn up here. That is the main practical reason to look at it. Availability changes daily, so use the search on this page rather than assuming, and if the name matters to your group, register it before you print anything with it on.
