History and Background of the .EVENTS Domain

The .EVENTS 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 event-related content and 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, .EVENTS is commonly used for event listings, promotions, and booking platforms.

Why you might not choose .EVENTS

While .EVENTS is clear, there are a few considerations:
  • Specific focus: Best suited for event-related content.
  • Longer extension: Can make domain names longer.
  • Brand continuity: Less suitable for non-event websites.
  • Recognition: Less familiar than traditional extensions like .COM.

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