Why .esports
The dot that
changes everything.
.esports is the only namespace built exclusively for competitive gaming — permanent, onchain, category-specific.
Esports identities are built on infrastructure that can be taken away at any moment.
Miss one annual payment and your domain is gone — squatted within minutes by someone who'll resell it back to you at 100x.
Your registrar can suspend, transfer, or revoke your domain at any time. Your "ownership" is a service contract.
.com and .gg say nothing about who you are or where you belong. Sponsors see a generic domain, not a gaming identity.
A namespace built for competitive gaming, onchain by design, owned by you forever.
Your .esports domain is minted onchain. No registrar. No renewal. No expiry. A permanent ownership record only you control.
A .esports address tells the world exactly who you are — the clearest signal in competitive gaming. Sponsors, recruiters, fans see it instantly.
The namespace is open today. Players, teams, and orgs that register now own the best addresses permanently — gone forever once claimed.

Every entity in competitive gaming has a permanent identity to claim.
A career outlives any team contract. Your .esports domain is the only address that travels with you across every roster, every game, every era.
Anchor your team brand onchain. The institutional address that survives sponsorship deals, league reorganisations, and decades of competition.
The official address of your game in competitive play. From flagship esports titles to emerging scenes — anchor the competitive identity onchain.
From majors to invitationals, every tournament deserves a permanent home. Brackets, rosters, history — anchored to a name that lasts.
The .esports namespace is at day zero. The decisions made today are permanent.
Every handle in the namespace is available exactly once. Once it's claimed, it's owned forever.
Before competitive gaming wakes up to onchain identity, premium SLDs are available at registration cost.
No annual renewals. No registrar. No expiry. The address is yours for as long as you hold the key.
When faker.esports is registered, it's gone. There is no waiting list, no expiry, no chance to claim it later.
As an onchain TLD, .esports operates outside the traditional ICANN DNS system. Full browser resolution is on the roadmap as Web3 infrastructure matures — but ownership is real, verifiable, and permanent right now regardless of resolution. See how it works.
Traditional domains are leases — you pay annually or lose the address. An onchain .esports domain is registered once and owned permanently. No annual fee. No registrar who can pull the rug. It's yours like a property title, not a subscription.
The .esports TLD is operated by dotesports.gg and registered onchain via Freename. Domain ownership is cryptographic — no single entity can modify or revoke your registration without your private key. Read more on the registry page.
Use it as your permanent identity anchor — in your bio, on your jersey, in your press kit, on your merch. Point it at your links, your portfolio, your content. It's your address in the scene.
For competitive gaming, yes — .esports is category-specific (instant signal), permanent (no renewals), and onchain (no registrar control). .com and .gg are generic and rented.
Go to the registry at get.dotesports.gg, search your handle, and register. The process is straightforward — no technical knowledge required.
The .esports namespace is open. Search your handle. Register once. Own it forever.
