About the .WEBSITE domain

What is the .WEBSITE domain?

The .website is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) managed by Radix Registry, the same operator of .tech, .online, .site, .store and .space. It was delegated by ICANN in 2014. Like other Radix domains, it applies a decreasing price structure: initial registration costs $23.99 but renewal drops to $17.99 — 25% less — making the total cost more competitive over time. The .website is more descriptive than .site: longer but also more explicit about the nature of what is behind it. No restrictions. Any person, company or institution can register it for any type of web project. Name availability is very high: most combinations taken in .com are still available in .website.

Uses of .WEBSITE

Who is the .WEBSITE domain for?

These are the most common situations where .WEBSITE is the ideal extension.

Small businesses without a web presence

Local businesses, physical shops and freelancers who need their first online presence: mybusiness.website as a simple, affordable point of contact.

Microsites and project pages

Pages dedicated to a specific project, product or campaign, separate from the main domain: project.website as an independent microsite.

Presentation pages and coming soon

A descriptive URL for a page under construction: yourname.website as a provisional destination while the definitive domain is being developed.

Localised versions of websites

A generic domain for regional or language variants of a larger site, when the ccTLD is unavailable or difficult to obtain.

Learning and test projects

Developers and designers who need a real domain for test projects, client demos or learning new technologies.

Alternative when .com is taken

.website has massive availability. If the .com or country TLD you want is taken, .website is the most explicit alternative about the nature of the project.

Frequently asked questions about the .WEBSITE domain

What is the difference between .website and .site?

The .website ($23.99 registration / $17.99 renewal) is slightly more descriptive and formal — 'website' is the complete word for an online site. The .site ($28.99 registration / $18.99 renewal) is shorter and has slightly greater adoption. Both are from Radix and have the same decreasing price structure. For most projects, .site has more traction, but .website is cheaper at both registration and renewal.

Why is .website renewal cheaper than registration?

Radix applies a launch-price entry strategy — the first year costs more ($23.99) to attract new registrations, and renewal drops to $17.99 to encourage long-term retention. For projects that keep the domain for several years, the average annual cost decreases over time.

Does .website rank well on Google?

Yes. Google treats .website like any other generic gTLD with no advantage or penalty. The extension is recognised by all search engines.

Is .website or .com better for a small business?

If the .com of your business name is available, .com has greater universal recognition. If .com is taken, .website is a coherent alternative: it communicates exactly what is behind it and has massive name availability. For local businesses where customers search by name on Google rather than direct URL, the difference in extension has less impact.

Does .website require mandatory HTTPS?

No. The .website has no technical restrictions. At miHosting, free SSL is available with one click on any hosting plan.

Can I transfer my .website domain to miHosting?

Yes. The transfer has no additional management cost. You need the authorisation code (Auth Code) from your current registrar. The process takes 5 to 7 business days.
