Claim Your Free First-Year .Coop Domain!

As a member of the Neighboring Food Co-op Association (NFCA), your co-operative can access a .coop domain free for the first year, discounted renewal pricing through the registrar domains.coop, and other exclusive benefits designed to engage your members and customers in what sets you apart as a co-operative business.

Your NFCA Offer

Free First-Year Registration

Eligible NFCA Member Co-ops can register new .coop domains with domains.coop at no cost for the first year. For a limited time, we are also reserving high value domains that may be of interest to your food co-op.

Discounted Renewal Pricing

After the first year, NFCA Members may renew .coop domains with domains.coop at the special NFCA Member price of $80 for a 1-year renewal

Automatic Verification

Part of the value of the .Coop domain is that only verified co-ops, co-operative associations, and support organizations may use it. Verification of your co-op’s status as a bona fide co-operative enterprise will be confirmed through your membership in the NFCA, making registration faster and easier, and enabling your organization to more clearly communicate your Co-operative Identity. 

We Make Switching Easy

DotCoop provides practical guidance to help co-ops, and is offering through this partnership a free 30-minute consultation to:

• Evaluate available .coop domain options.
• Register a new .coop domain.
• Transfer an existing domain.
• Set up redirects from current websites.
• Plan a smooth transition with minimal disruption.

Already have a website and domain name? You don’t need to start over!  We can help your co-op gradually introduce .coop assets while maintaining your existing domain(s).

Why Choose a .coop Domain?

A .coop domain is more than an internet address. It immediately identifies your organization as part of the international co-operative movement based on our shared Values and Principles. Registering a domain also qualifies your organization to use the Global Cooperative Marque for free (see more on this below).

Unlike standard domain extensions, .coop is reserved exclusively for verified co-operatives, associations, and co-op support organizations.

Build Trust and Credibility

When your customers, members, and community partners visit your website or receive an e-mail, the .coop domain signals that your organization is a special kind of business — one that operates according to the internationally recognized Co-operative Values and Principles.

Keep Your Money in the Movement

Why give your hard-earned money to big tech? DotCoop is owned by the co-operative movement.  And unlike a .com or other domain, your .coop registration stays in the co-operative economy, enabling DotCoop to support:

• Local and global events that promote co-operatives.
• Efforts to build digital partnerships in the global south.
• Visibility projects like stories.coop and worldmap.coop (which are 100% supported by .coop users!).
• Safeguarding the only co-op exclusive part of the internet.

By using a .coop domain, your organization becomes a partner in the global co-operative movement. It’s Principle 6 in action!

Strengthen Your Co-operative Identity

With a .coop domain, every e-mail, website visit, and online interaction reinforces your Co-op Identity, particularly if you also use the Co-op Marque. Your co-op will also automatically be published on the worldmap.coop as a verified co-operative enterprise!

Use the Co-op Marque!

With your co-op’s verification and use of a .Coop domain, you are also eligible to use the internationally recognized Co-op Marque. Together, these tools help communicate your Co-operative Identity clearly and consistently across your:

• Website;
• Email communications;
• Newsletters;
• Marketing materials;
• Social media channels;
• Branded swag; and
• Products

You will receive a full toolkit with guidance and the artwork upon registration. DotCoop will also be more than happy to share case studies and talk you through using it.
