History and Background of the .ESTATE Domain

The .ESTATE 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 real estate, estates, and property-related services.

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, .ESTATE is commonly used for property marketing, estate services, and planning-related content.

Why you might not choose .ESTATE

While .ESTATE is broad, there are a few considerations:
  • Clarity: It may feel less specific than extensions like .HOMES or .LAND.
  • Recognition: Less familiar than traditional extensions.
  • Brand fit: Not ideal if you are not property-related.
  • Search habits: Some users still expect .COM by default.

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