History and Background of the .DIET Domain

The .DIET 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 diet-related information and nutrition-focused projects.

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, .DIET is commonly used for nutrition content, diet programs, and wellness guidance.

Why you might not choose .DIET

While .DIET is descriptive, there are a few considerations:
  • Specific focus: Best suited for diet and nutrition topics.
  • Trust: Health claims require careful and accurate messaging.
  • Brand flexibility: Less suitable for broader wellness services.
  • Recognition: Less familiar than traditional extensions.

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