Register a .me domain
Register a .me domain to turn your name into a sentence — hire.me, about.me, follow.me. .me is Montenegro's official country code, but its real-world use is almost entirely as a domain-hack ending, built into a phrase rather than tacked onto the end of a brand name. There's no residency requirement, so anyone can claim one.
Who picks .me?
- Personal brand and portfolio sites building the name into a sentence or handle (e.g. hire.me, follow.me)
- Product or campaign microsites using .me as a short, memorable link (in the style of wp.me or fb.me)
- Freelancers, consultants, and coaches who want a domain that reads as personal rather than corporate
What it signals
Registering .me signals you picked a domain on purpose — for the wordplay or personal branding it enables — not because the .com you wanted was taken. It reads as intentional rather than a fallback.
Pros
- Open registration worldwide — no Montenegro residency or local presence needed
- Current registration and renewal rates are shown separately below; rates can change
- WHOIS privacy at no extra charge, where the registry's rules permit it
- Built for wordplay — a verb or word plus .me reads as a complete phrase, which most ccTLDs can't do
- Business email and setup help are available as separate services
Watch-outs
- Registration and renewal cost more than a typical .com — we're upfront that we're not the cheapest option
- As a ccTLD it carries less default trust with some users than .com for e-commerce or finance
- Some names are held back as registry premium inventory, and Montenegro's reserved government/education subdomains (e.g. gov.me) aren't open to the public
Registry restrictions
No residency or local-presence requirement — .me is open to registration by anyone, worldwide. The registry withholds some names as premium inventory, and Montenegro's official government and institutional use is carved out separately (not part of general public registration).
