What is .CATERING?

.CATERING is a descriptive generic top-level domain (gTLD) created for businesses and projects centred on catering and event food service. It allows you to highlight your specialty directly in your web address, making your website purpose very clear.

Who is .CATERING best for?

The .CATERING extension is best suited for professionals and organisations that provide food and beverage service for events. It can work well for:

Wedding and event caterers, corporate catering services, mobile catering trucks, banquet halls, party planners that include catering, and menu or package showcase sites.

Why businesses choose .CATERING

  • Immediately communicates that your business focuses on catering
  • Helps differentiate catering services from general restaurant websites
  • Descriptive and memorable for clients searching for event food providers
  • Pairs well with marketing materials that highlight catering packages and menus

Why you might not choose .CATERING

Although .CATERING can be a strong match for some brands, there are several points to consider before using it as your main domain:

  • Niche focus: The extension is tightly linked to catering, which may feel limiting if you later expand into broader restaurant, venue or hospitality services.
  • Lower overall recognition: Many users are still more familiar with traditional extensions such as .COM or .NET and may not recognize .CATERING at first glance.
  • Possible need for multiple domains: To protect your brand, you may decide to register both a .CATERING domain and a more conventional extension, which can increase costs.
  • Perception in formal markets: Some corporate or government clients may prefer to see a more standard extension for primary contact and contract information.

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