.me vs .com and .dev for a personal site
A .com domain with your full name is often taken, while the .me version is still open. A .dev domain suits developers but requires HTTPS. A .co domain fits a company better than a person. If your name has a common spelling, our guide on domain name ideas for a website lists alternatives that keep it readable.
| Extension | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| .me | Personal brand | ccTLD of Montenegro, open worldwide |
| .com | Name plus business | Full names often taken |
| .dev | Developer portfolio | HTTPS only |
| .co | Small company | Reads as company |

Renewing and transferring a .me domain
Your .me renews automatically each year at the renewal price shown here, and you can switch auto renew off per domain in the dashboard. Reminder emails go out 30 and 7 days before expiry. Expiry rules for country code extensions are set by each registry, so check the renewal policy for the .me grace and redemption periods. To move a .me to NameBest, unlock it at your current registrar, copy the EPP code and start a domain transfer. The transfer adds one year to the registration. A .me cannot be transferred within 60 days of registration.

Questions about .me domains
What country is .me?
Montenegro. It is the country's code extension, opened to registrants worldwide and now used mostly for personal sites.
Do I need to live in Montenegro to register a .me?
No. Second level .me names such as yourname.me have no residency requirement. Anyone in any country can register them.
Is WHOIS privacy allowed on .me?
Yes. Privacy is allowed and included, so your home address does not appear next to your name in the public record.
Can I use a .me for email?
Yes. Add MX records for your email provider in the DNS table, and you can use an address like hello at yourname.me.
Will a .me site rank outside Montenegro?
Yes. Search engines treat .me as a generic extension, so your site is not tied to Montenegro and can rank anywhere.
