ING TLD ENCYCLOPEDIA

Register .ing

A Google-run TLD where the suffix is part of the brand. The name and the action become one — humanbe.ing, acquir.ing, design.ing.

★ DOSSIER · ING ★

What is .ing?

Brands whose name reads as a verb in motion. The "-ing" suffix is built into the URL itself, so the domain reads as a continuous action.

★ Mission log · Interesting facts

  • .ing launched in November 2023 as a Google Registry premium TLD — fewer than 10,000 registrations as of early 2026.
  • Like .dev and .app, .ing is HSTS-preloaded — every domain is HTTPS-only.
  • Premium .ing names sold in early-access auctions for five and six figures.
  • The name plays on English grammar — every .ing URL is grammatically a verb in motion.

.ing FAQs

The most-asked questions from earthlings, answered.

What is .ing for?

Brands and projects where the action is the identity — verbs, motion, ongoing process. Humanbe.ing, acquir.ing, learn.ing.

Is .ing HTTPS-only?

Yes — HSTS preloaded, like all Google Registry TLDs (.dev, .app, .new, .page).

Why so expensive?

Google's premium-TLD pricing model — scarcity, exclusivity, and a high renewal tier. Worth it if the verb is the brand.

Can it be used for email?

Yes — like any TLD, .ing supports custom email at your domain.
