Order your .eat domain now

.eat opens in three phases, and every one of them is first come, first served. Search your domain now to get your place in line now, and we will submit your order the moment your phase opens.

Sunrise, from September 1. For trademark holders. You will need a validated SMD file from the Trademark Clearinghouse, and our team can help you get one.

Early Access, from November 10. Open to everyone. Pay a one-time fee on top of the registration price to register before general availability. The fee drops each day of the week, and so do your chances on the names everyone wants.

General Availability, from November 17, 2026. Open to everyone at standard pricing, and the phase most people register in. Pre-Order your domain ahead of time, and we submit it to the registry the moment the phase opens. You are not charged until the name is successfully registered, so there is no reason to wait up and try to catch it yourself.

We cannot guarantee any particular name, because it can be taken in an earlier phase or by another registrar.

About .eat

Country flagLogo for .eat Domain

Register a .eat domain and give your restaurant, food brand, delivery platform, or recipe blog an address that matches what it does. From neighborhood restaurants to global food brands to food bloggers building a following, .eat puts your business exactly where hungry visitors expect to find it.

A .com makes people guess what you do. .eat says it in three letters, and it still fits on a table tent, a napkin, a van door or a QR code. If your food is worth telling a friend about, .eat is the part of the address they will actually remember.

Why register a .eat domain?

Short enough to say out loud. A guest reads a table tent once. Three letters survive being repeated across a table, printed on a receipt, or scanned off a window.

Nothing is taken yet. .eat opens from empty, so the name your restaurant actually wants has a real chance of being free. That stopped being true in .com a long time ago.

Wordplay that does the marketing for you. HEARTB.EAT, GR.EAT and TR.EAT read as words rather than web addresses.

Secure by requirement. HTTPS is required on every .eat website, the same rule Google Registry set for .app and .dev. No .eat site goes live without a certificate.

DNSSEC is available for .eat domain Private Registration is available for .eat domain

Frequently asked questions about .eat

What is a .eat domain?
A generic top-level domain approved by ICANN and operated by Google Registry. It works like a .com, and it is intended for food, restaurants and eating.
Who can register a .eat domain?
Anyone. Individuals and businesses can both register, with no eligibility requirements once general availability opens.
How much does a .eat domain cost?
Registration is $21.99 per year and renewal is $27.99 per year. Sunrise registration is $24.99 per year. Early Access adds a one-time fee on top, which drops each day of that week and is shown on the page.
When can I register a .eat domain?
Sunrise runs from September 1 to November 9, 2026 for trademark holders. General availability opens November 17, 2026 and is open to everyone.
Do I need a trademark to register a .eat domain?
Only for Sunrise. Early Access and general availability are open to anyone. Your trademark must match the domain name you are registering.
Why does .eat require HTTPS?
It is a registry policy rather than a recommendation. Google Registry requires HTTPS across .eat, the same way it does for .app and .dev. Set up HTTPS serving before you point a .eat name at a live site.
What is the Trademark Claims notice?
If you register a name that matches a record in the Trademark Clearinghouse, you get a warning before the registration completes and the trademark holder is notified afterward. For .eat, this runs indefinitely.
Will a .eat domain improve my search rankings?
Not on its own. A new domain name carries no inherent ranking advantage. What it does is make the address shorter and easier to say, which affects how many people remember it and type it correctly.
How is .eat different from .rest, .menu or .food?
Those three have been available for years, so the good names are largely gone. .eat opens from empty, and it is shorter than all three, which matters on print and signage.
Who operates .eat?
Google Registry, the operator behind .app, .dev, .page and .new.
Which launch phase should I choose?

The decision depends on whether you have a registered trademark and your budget. If you have a registered trademark, the Sunrise phase is ideal, but you'll need to register your trademark with the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH). Our team can assist you with that process. On the other hand, if you don't have a trademark and are willing to pay extra to secure your desired domain name, Early Access is the recommended phase. Early Access follows a scheduled pricing structure, with earlier days being pricier and costs decreasing significantly in later days. In the last stage of the launch, General Availability, domain names are accessible to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you're still uncertain about which launch phase to register in, take a look at our Launch Phase Infographic, designed to assist you in making an informed decision.

What are the standard launch phases of a new domain launch?

Sunrise - This initial phase is exclusively for trademark holders registered with the Trademark Clearinghouse, allowing them priority registration.

Early Access - Open to everyone, the Early Access phase permits individuals the opportunity to secure a domain name by paying a fee before General Availability. Early Access typically lasts for seven days, with registration fees decreasing throughout the week, along with your odds of securing a specific name as the week progresses.

General Availability - During this phase, any available domain name can be registered by anyone. General Availability Pre-Orders will be automatically processed once the phase begins, offering the best opportunity to secure your preferred domain name.

Does a pre-order guarantee the registration of my domain name?
When a phase begins, we instantly submit pre-ordered domain names for registration. However, it's important to note that several factors may impact your ability to secure your desired domain. It's possible that your chosen name could be registered in an earlier phase or by another registrar. Nevertheless, we have a remarkable track record of successfully registering domain names before others.
Are there requirements, documents, or information needed for .eat?
.eat is a more secure domain, meaning that HTTPS is required for all .eat websites. In order for it to work properly in browsers you must first configure HTTPS serving.
