History and Background of the .APARTMENTS Domain

The .APARTMENTS domain extension was delegated in the mid-2010s as part of ICANN's new generic top-level domain program. Delegation refers to the point when a domain extension is officially added to the global domain name system and becomes technically active. It was introduced for apartment listings and rental-focused websites.

After delegation, the extension typically went through standard launch phases, including a sunrise period (which allows trademark holders to register names first) before becoming available to the general public. Today, .APARTMENTS is commonly used for rental listings, property searches, and housing platforms.

Why you might not choose .APARTMENTS

While .APARTMENTS is descriptive, there are a few considerations:
  • Specific focus: Best suited for apartment-related content.
  • Length: The extension can make domain names longer.
  • Recognition: Less familiar than traditional extensions like .COM.
  • Flexibility: Not ideal if you cover many property types.

Because of these factors, Website.com currently focuses on proven, widely recognized extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG that deliver consistency, affordability, and broad recognition. .APARTMENTS domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
