Register a .MEME domain for meme projects, creator brands, communities, social campaigns, humor sites, or culture-focused media. Check .MEME availability, register new names, transfer eligible domains, or manage multiple .MEME domains with NiceNIC. Because .MEME is HSTS-preloaded, websites on this extension must use HTTPS.

.MEME is an open gTLD built around memes and internet culture, but running the domain involves more than finding a clever name. Every .MEME website must work over HTTPS, and premium names can have different annual pricing. NiceNIC supports domain search, registration, renewal, eligible transfers, DNS management, bulk workflows, and reseller/API use cases from one account.
Add funds and pay for domain services using supported crypto options such as USDT, BTC, ETH, and LTC. Automated crypto deposit recording helps account balances update quickly after successful confirmation, with no extra NiceNIC processing fee for automated deposits.
NiceNIC provides real human support, not only scripted replies. Our team can review your domain needs, explain practical options, and give account-level, transfer, bulk registration, and reseller suggestions to help your domain business grow.
NiceNIC does not take arbitrary action against domains. Abuse reports are reviewed based on available evidence, policies, and registry requirements, with domain owners guided to review, fix, or explain reported issues where appropriate.
Manage .MEME together with 2,500+ domain extensions from one NiceNIC account, including country-code, generic, and new domain extensions. This helps businesses, investors, and resellers build global domain coverage more efficiently.
NiceNIC supports 47+ website languages, creating a multilingual registrar experience for international users and teams. This makes domain registration, renewal, transfer, account management, and support easier across different markets.
For hosting providers, agencies, platforms, and domain resellers, NiceNIC supports reseller API access for domain registration, renewal, transfer, DNS, account-level pricing, and custom nameserver services.
Google Registry opened .MEME to General Availability on December 5, 2023. ICANN registry-report data summarized for May 2026 shows about 6,006 registered .MEME domains. That makes .MEME a niche extension rather than a mass-market alternative to .COM, but its meaning is unusually direct for meme publishers, creators, communities, and campaigns built around internet culture.

This comparison uses four Google Registry extensions with clearly different internet-facing use cases. It shows .MEME's current scale without treating the much larger overall new-gTLD market as if it were .MEME demand.
.MEME works best when the extension itself adds meaning to the name. It is not a general replacement for .COM; it is a category-specific address for projects that genuinely connect to meme culture and shareable online content.
The extension immediately signals memes, humor, cultural references, and highly shareable online content without requiring the visitor to decode an unrelated domain ending.
.MEME can fit meme archives, creator projects, humor communities, social-media landing pages, campaign microsites, and brands that intentionally use meme-led communication.
.MEME is on the HSTS preload list, so browsers require HTTPS. Buyers should plan SSL/TLS configuration before launching a website on the domain.
Selected registry-report snapshots show .MEME expanding after its late-2023 public launch, reaching more than 9,000 reported domains in early 2025, and then contracting through 2026. This is a better description of the market than presenting the extension as steadily growing.
Public aftermarket reporting for the exact .MEME extension is still very limited. One clearly documented completed sale provides a useful reference point, but a single transaction is not enough to establish a representative .MEME resale benchmark.
A .MEME domain is deliberately specific. It is strongest when visitors can understand why the website uses the extension before they even open the page, whether the project is a meme archive, a creator identity, a culture-led campaign, or a platform serving meme communities.
Give original meme content, archives, recurring formats, or creator projects a web address that directly matches the subject.
Use .MEME for websites built around shared jokes, fandoms, trends, remix culture, or community-generated content.
Create a separate culture-led campaign address when meme content is genuinely part of the message rather than forcing a casual tone onto the main corporate domain.
Manage multiple client or user domains with bulk and API workflows while accounting for HTTPS setup and premium-name pricing.
If you already own .MEME domains elsewhere, transfer decisions should not be based only on one renewal invoice. Check transfer eligibility, ownership access, billing reliability, support response time, API needs, and long-term domain management.
Paste multiple .MEME names, remove duplicates, review the count, and continue to bulk registration. This is useful for domain investors, brand teams, agencies, hosting providers, and resellers.
Enter one name per line, with or without .MEME. The tool removes duplicates and prepares a clean list for bulk registration.
If your business sells hosting, websites, SaaS, agency services, or brand protection packages, NiceNIC reseller APIs can support domain registration, renewal, transfer, DNS, and account management.

Short answers on .MEME pricing, eligibility, HTTPS, transfer rules, registration terms, premium names, bulk workflows, and reseller use.
Check the live .MEME price shown on this page before ordering. Standard and premium .MEME names can have different prices, and Google Registry states that premium names may carry a higher annual registration fee.
.MEME is an open generic top-level domain operated by Google Registry. It is designed around memes and internet culture and is especially relevant to meme publishers, creators, communities, media projects, social campaigns, and brands using culture-driven content.
Generally, yes. .MEME has been in General Availability since December 5, 2023 and does not have a general registrant-eligibility restriction. Reserved names, protected names, and other registry or ICANN rules still apply.
.MEME is a secure namespace included on the HSTS preload list. Browsers therefore require HTTPS connections for .MEME websites, so an SSL/TLS certificate and correctly configured HTTPS are required before the site will load normally in modern browsers.
Yes, eligible .MEME domains can use the standard inter-registrar transfer process for gTLDs. You normally need the domain's Auth Code and an eligible transfer status. ICANN transfer restrictions, including applicable 60-day locks, can prevent a transfer in some situations. Review the domain transfer process before starting.
.MEME follows the standard gTLD registration model that allows domain terms from one to ten years, provided the total remaining registration term does not exceed ten years. Available term options at checkout can depend on registrar implementation.
Yes. NiceNIC supports bulk domain search and domain-management workflows for customers handling multiple names. Availability, premium pricing, and registry rules are still checked for each .MEME domain individually.
Yes. Google Registry's .MEME pricing policy provides for premium domain names whose annual registration fee is higher than the standard registration fee. The applicable price should be checked before registration and considered when planning future renewals.
Yes when the project genuinely fits meme culture, creator content, community engagement, or a culture-led campaign. Agencies and resellers can use NiceNIC Domain API and bulk tools to support multiple customer domains while keeping HTTPS and premium-name pricing requirements in view.
Register a new .MEME, transfer an existing domain, or upgrade your account level for bulk registration and reseller API use.
