.green Domain Names
41 registrars compared — cheapest from $5.99 at Sav
Delegated in 2014 as part of the new gTLD program, .green was envisioned as a digital home for the environmental movement — but its stewardship by a large commercial registry raises questions about who truly speaks for the green community online.

A Delegation Born of the 2012 New gTLD Program
The 2012 new gTLD program opened the door for hundreds of new domain extensions, and .green emerged from that wave on June 12, 2014. It was not a brand-owned extension but a generic top-level domain (gTLD) meant to serve a broad theme. Identity Digital Limited, now the registry operator, manages its namespace. The delegation marked a moment when environmental causes got their own slice of the internet's addressing system — or at least, a slice named after them.
The Registry Behind the Green Movement
Identity Digital Limited is no niche player. It also operates .global, .info, .kim, .mobi, and .blue, among others. That breadth means .green shares a technical backend and commercial strategy with extensions that have nothing to do with sustainability. For registrants, this is reassuring — the registry is established — but it also distances the extension from grassroots environmental organizing. The IANA record shows a corporate entity, not a nonprofit coalition, holding the keys.
What the Price Spread Says About Demand
The pricing for .green is all over the map. Across 41 registrars, the gap between the cheapest and most expensive is extreme — the low end runs a tenth of the high end. That kind of spread usually signals an extension in an awkward middle ground: not so premium that everyone prices high, not so commoditized that everyone fights on price alone. The cheapest option sits at Sav for an initial registration of $5.99, though renewal costs $68.84, so bargain hunters should read the fine print. If the market can't agree on a value, that says something about how little consensus exists around what a .green domain is actually for.
A Name That Brands, But Who's Buying It?
The word 'green' carries obvious appeal for eco-friendly brands, renewable energy startups, and advocacy groups. On paper, .green seems like a natural fit for anyone selling sustainability. Yet demand hasn't been measured — there is no keyword research indicating that people are actively searching for or registering these domains. That absence of proven demand makes .green a bet on future cultural momentum, not a reflection of current usage. Compared to same-registry siblings like .mobi, which targets a clear mobile niche, .green's appeal is broader and fuzzier, which may be exactly why its pricing is so volatile.
