Its use was largely limited to campaign pages, outlet stores, and deal-focused sites.

Why you might not choose .DISCOUNT

Before choosing a .DISCOUNT domain, consider brand image and long-term use.

  • Brand positioning: It may not fit premium or full-price brands.
  • Campaign-focused: The name suggests short-term or sale-driven use.
  • 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. .DISCOUNT domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
