About .CPA

.cpa is a new, secure domain exclusively available to CPA firms.

.cpa protects your clients — and your firm

  • .cpa is a restricted domain. CPA-verified registration means fraudsters can’t buy domains.
  • .cpa makes all registrant information private, such as email addresses and other personal data, to help protect you from fraudsters.
  • A .cpa domain, coupled with other proactive security measures, can make going after your firm — and your clients — more trouble than it’s worth.
  • A more secure domain also helps protect sensitive client information that resides on your firm’s online portal.

.CPA Application Schedule
