About .key

The .key domain extension works as a short, familiar address for anything that opens the way to something or marks what matters most. It suits people and organizations whose content centers on essentials or entry points.

This top-level domain fits pages built around key information, key features, key steps or key contacts. You can use it for a starting-point page, a quick guide to what you offer, or a hub that points people to the most important details. Creators, businesses and organizations of all kinds can use it.

Visitors tend to read the word two ways, as a tool that opens something and as a sign of what is most important. Both meanings are understood worldwide, so your address can explain itself to the general public looking for access or information.
