Why you might not choose .GIFTS

Before choosing a .GIFTS domain, consider branding and product range.

  • Specific focus: It is mainly suitable for gift-related products.
  • Brand limits: It may not fit stores with a very broad catalog.
  • 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. .GIFTS domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
