Why you might not choose .BUILD

While .BUILD can be a good fit for some projects, there are a few drawbacks to consider:
  • Lower recognition: Some visitors may be less familiar with .BUILD compared to legacy extensions like .COM, .NET, or .ORG.
  • Possible higher cost: Depending on the registrar and current pricing, .BUILD domains may cost more to register or renew than standard extensions.
  • Brand confusion: Customers might misremember your address or default to typing a .COM version instead.
  • Long-term strategy: Some brands may prefer to build on more established extensions for long-term recognition.

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