Attract Welsh customers to your website

The ideal domain for all things Welsh

Celebrate Wales online

Is your business based in Wales? Do you operate there or provide services or products specific to the Welsh market? A .wales domain helps you target your website and makes your Welsh identity clear.

As .wales is a newer TLD, fewer domain names are already taken compared to an established extension like .com. This means you've got a better chance of getting the exact one you want.

Reach a Welsh audience

By registering a .wales domain, you can attract potential customers across the whole country. You'll also reach people with a Welsh connection based abroad.

Plus, with .cymru you can tailor your website even further for a Welsh-speaking audience. By setting up a simple domain redirect, you can easily forward your .wales domain visitors to your .cymru website, or vice versa – so why not register both?
