Heads up that we're doing some planned maintenance starting at 6:00pm EDT (2200UTC) tonight, August 20, 2025. Hover will be inaccessible for part of the one-hour window, but domains and email will be unaffected.

The ICANN fee that is charged on every generic top-level domain (gTLD) registration, transfer or renewal is going up on July 1, 2025 from $0.18 to $0.20. We pass that fee directly through in our pricing, so accordingly, we'll be adjusting prices on all gTLDs by exactly $0.02 effective July 1, 2025.

Heads up that very soon, most generic top-level domains (gTLDs) are moving to a single contact (owner) instead of the current four contacts (owner, admin, tech, billing). There's nothing you need to do if your domains are with Hover - we've got it all covered.

We love the small web at Hover and our passion is helping you find a domain to bring your project, blog, book, or whatever to life online.

We also love @kagihq's "Small Web" project. If you remember StumbleUpon or Blogrolling, you'll dig this too. kagi.com/smallweb/

If you are not a username and password kind of person, you can sign into your Hover account using a "magic token" instead. It gets sent to your account email, and we also still enforce 2FA if you have that configured. From the sign in page, just click "Sign in With Magic Token".

We had a blue check at that other place, but we also think that domain name handles are a really good indicator that accounts are who they say they are. We still welcome the news that Bluesky has adopted a verification program and visual indicator.
bsky.app Bluesky @bsky.app · Apr 21
We’re introducing a new layer of verification on Bluesky — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check.

In addition to account verification issued by Bluesky, we're also introducing Trusted Verifiers. Select independent organizations can verify accounts directly.

Did you know that when you switch your @bsky.app account handle to your own domain, that your existing bsky.social username will be reserved for you and you don't lose it? bsky.social/about/blog/4...

p.s. Hover Connect makes adding the required DNS record to your Hover domain really easy!

There's been lots of talk about .finance and .business lately, but we're also thinking about .golf this weekend. Whatever the topic, we probably have a domain extension for your blog, site or big idea. See the big list: www.hover.com/domain-pricing

Some good advice on choosing a good domain name for your project or business. Or maybe more correctly, how to avoid a potentially costly mistake! Does a "funky" domain name make you less likely to do business with a company or service?

We've put .CA domains on sale for the next little while to give Canadians the opportunity to add a digital Canadian flag to their online presence at a much lower price. Trade up to the .CA version of your existing domain, or register a new .CA for your next big idea. www.hover.com/tld/buy-ca-d...

Bad idea: mess with DNS on your own domain.
Good idea: mess with DNS on messwithdns.net

We love this site from @b0rk.jvns.ca that lets you mess with DNS and learn by doing (and breaking things). #DNS

Now with our domain as our handle! Thanks @bsky.app for handling verification with something as simple as using the domain name people already know and trust. Hover Connect makes it easy for you to do the same with your Hover domain.

ccTLDs and local gTLDs are a great way to show pride for where you live. We offer ccTLDs like .de, .uk., .au, .ca and more. And we have city domains like .amsterdam, .paris, .london, .tokyo and others.

Try a domain search and check off the search filters on the right side to see what's available.
