We’re back with our regular feature where we shine a spotlight on interesting, useful, or just plain cool domain name extensions. This week we’re talking about something a little different — the .rocks domain. And yes, it really does rock.
.rocks is one of the many new(ish) domain name extensions designed to give people and businesses more choice than the traditional .com or .co.uk.
The great thing about .rocks is that it’s open to everyone — no paperwork, no restrictions, no industry limitations. Whether you’re running a music festival, launching a personal brand, or just want to show your business has a bit of edge, .rocks gives you the chance to be memorable and modern.
Good question — and it’s one we hear often.
The truth is, a lot of the best .com domains are long gone or cost a small fortune. But with .rocks, there’s still a lot of availability. That means you’re more likely to get the domain you actually want, without needing to add random numbers or dashes to make it work.
But it’s not just about what’s available — it’s about the message you’re sending. A domain like:
yourbusiness.rocks
event2025.rocks
culture.rocks
or even thisproject.rocks
… immediately stands out. It’s confident, creative, and tells your audience that you’re not afraid to do things differently.
It’s a surprisingly flexible domain, and we’ve seen it used in all sorts of ways:
Musicians and performers – Naturally! Whether it’s a band site, a fan page, or a tour promo, .rocks says it all.
Fitness and lifestyle brands – Think trainers, coaches, or influencers who want something memorable and modern.
Consultants, speakers, educators – A personal brand with a .rocks domain is bold, but approachable.
Events and campaigns – Great for temporary landing pages or promotional campaigns that need to make a splash.
Internal company projects – Teams have used it for things like teamculture.rocks or staffhub.rocks — a nice touch if you’re trying to make your internal platforms feel less like a chore.
Basically, if you’ve got a brand or message with a bit of personality, this is a domain that fits.
Nope. That’s one of the nice things about .rocks — there are no usage restrictions, and no need to be in a particular country or industry. You can register it and start using it straight away.
We’re glad you asked. At Hipposerve, we believe a domain should come with more than just a name. Here’s what’s included as standard:
Free email forwarding – Get email@yourdomain.rocks pointing to wherever you want.
Free domain forwarding – Redirect to your main site or a campaign page.
Advanced DNS management – Full control if you need it (or we can help if you don’t).
DNS backup & redundancy – So your domain stays live, even if something goes wrong.
UK-based support – Real humans, no scripts, and no pressure to buy extras.
Transparent pricing – No surprise renewals or hidden fees.
Price lock – Fix your price for up to 10 years and stop worrying about future hikes.
We think that’s pretty solid value — especially for a domain that makes people stop and take notice.
Just head over here:
👉 https://hipposerve.com/tld-directory/rocks
Search your brand, idea, or project name — you might be surprised what’s still available.
Sometimes a domain name does more than just point people to your website — it tells a story, sets a tone, or gives a glimpse of your personality.
If your brand is bold, creative, or a little bit different, .rocks might just be the perfect fit.
And if you need help or have questions, the Hippos are always here to help.

The articles you’ll find here are part of Hipposerve’s growing archive, and some go back a little way. That means you may occasionally spot references to products we no longer offer, pricing that has since changed, or technologies and advice that reflected best practice at the time of writing but may not fully align with current thinking. We always aim to keep things accurate, but the web moves fast.
