What is a .fans domain?
A .fans domain is a global top-level domain designed for fan communities, creators, entertainment projects, sports teams, brands, artists, and anyone building a dedicated online space for their audience.
Instead of using a generic web address, .fans makes the purpose of your website clear from the first impression: this is a place for fans, followers, supporters, and communities.
Examples include kpop.fans, soccer.fans, ai.fans, agent.fans, and yourbrand.fans.
The .fans top-level domain is operated by ZDNS International Limited, the registry operator for .fans.
Who should use .fans?
.fans is ideal for anyone who wants to build, grow, or protect a fan-based digital presence.
It can be used by celebrities, musicians, sports clubs, entertainment companies, creators, influencers, game communities, anime communities, fan clubs, event organizers, brands, agencies, and startups.
A .fans domain works especially well for official fan hubs, creator communities, campaign pages, membership platforms, merchandise stores, event pages, and branded community websites.
Whether you are building a global fan community or a niche interest group, .fans gives your audience a clear and memorable destination.
Can I use .fans for merch, memberships, or events?

If your preferred name is available, you can register it directly. If it is already registered or listed as a premium name, availability and pricing may vary depending on the registrar and registry policies.

Yes. Premium .fans domains may be available.
Premium domains are high-value names that may include short words, popular keywords, category terms, brandable names, or names with strong commercial or community potential. Examples may include names related to entertainment, sports, music, games, AI, creators, and global fan culture.
Premium .fans domain availability and pricing may vary by registrar. To check a premium .fans domain, search the name through a participating registrar or contact the relevant registration channel for more information.

For companies with active fan bases, protecting names such as yourbrand.fans can help reduce confusion and create a more trusted online destination for audiences.
Brand owners should also monitor relevant domain names and follow applicable domain name policies and dispute resolution procedures when necessary.
