When it launched in 2014, we called .ooo (dot triple-O) one of the coolest new domain extensions: short, eye-catching and wide open, run by the Indian e-commerce technology company Infibeam. Back then a .ooo name cost about \u20b91,699 a year. In 2026 it&#8217;s still available to anyone worldwide. Here&#8217;s what .ooo is, what it costs, and whether it makes sense for your site.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41917\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/ooo-domain-name.png\" alt=\".ooo domain name\" width=\"435\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/ooo-domain-name.png 435w, https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/ooo-domain-name-150x77.png 150w, https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/ooo-domain-name-300x154.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 435px) 100vw, 435px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Quick answer:<\/strong> .ooo is a generic top-level domain run by Infibeam that anyone can register, with no residency or business requirements. Major registrars list it at roughly US$20 to US$30 a year. It&#8217;s fun and memorable for personal projects, creative brands and short links, but for a main business or blog, a .com or a well-known extension like .in or .co is usually easier for people to remember and trust.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_89 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6adc141c56147\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #1a202c;color:#1a202c\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #1a202c;color:#1a202c\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6adc141c56147\" checked aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2014\/11\/buy-the-cool-ooo-domain-name\/#What_is_the_ooo_domain\" >What is the .ooo domain?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2014\/11\/buy-the-cool-ooo-domain-name\/#Who_might_use_a_ooo_domain\" >Who might use a .ooo domain?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2014\/11\/buy-the-cool-ooo-domain-name\/#Pros_and_cons_of_ooo\" >Pros and cons of .ooo<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2014\/11\/buy-the-cool-ooo-domain-name\/#How_to_register_a_ooo_domain\" >How to register a .ooo domain<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2014\/11\/buy-the-cool-ooo-domain-name\/#Our_experience_with_new_domain_extensions\" >Our experience with new domain extensions<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2014\/11\/buy-the-cool-ooo-domain-name\/#FAQ\" >FAQ<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2014\/11\/buy-the-cool-ooo-domain-name\/#Who_owns_the_ooo_domain_extension\" >Who owns the .ooo domain extension?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2014\/11\/buy-the-cool-ooo-domain-name\/#How_much_does_a_ooo_domain_cost\" >How much does a .ooo domain cost?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2014\/11\/buy-the-cool-ooo-domain-name\/#Is_ooo_good_for_SEO\" >Is .ooo good for SEO?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_ooo_domain\"><\/span>What is the .ooo domain?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>A generic top-level domain (gTLD) launched in 2014 as part of ICANN&#8217;s new gTLD program.<\/li>\n<li>Operated by Infibeam (now Infibeam Avenues), an Indian technology company, which promoted it as the &#8220;power domain&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Open to everyone: individuals and businesses in any country.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_might_use_a_ooo_domain\"><\/span>Who might use a .ooo domain?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Playful brands:<\/strong> names that work with the triple O sound, like &#8220;hellooo.ooo&#8221;
