History and Background of the .BARGAINS Domain

The .BARGAINS 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 discount and deal-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, .BARGAINS is commonly used for promotions, discounts, and savings platforms.

Why you might not choose .BARGAINS

While .BARGAINS is descriptive, there are a few considerations:
  • Perception: It may feel less premium for some brands.
  • Narrow focus: Best suited for discount-related content.
  • Trust: Visitors may be cautious if the brand is unfamiliar.
  • Recognition: Less familiar than traditional extensions like .COM.

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. .BARGAINS domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
