History and Background of the .CONTACT Domain

The .CONTACT domain extension was introduced during ICANN's new gTLD expansion as a descriptive option for inquiry, support, and contact-focused websites.

Its use was largely limited to contact hubs, service pages, and business inquiry portals.

Why you might not choose .CONTACT

Before choosing a .CONTACT domain, consider how people will use the site.

  • Limited scope: It may fit best as a contact-only page rather than a full website.
  • Expectations: Visitors may assume it is only for support or inquiries.
  • User habits: Many visitors still expect a .com address.

Because of these factors, Website.com currently focuses on proven, widely recognized extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG. .CONTACT domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
