History and Background of the .GOLD Domain

The .GOLD domain extension was introduced during ICANN's new generic top-level domain expansion and is generally associated with websites connected to its name and theme.

Over time, it has been used by brands, creators, and community projects that want a domain name that clearly signals a focus on gold-related topics.

Why you might not choose .GOLD

Before choosing a .GOLD domain, consider whether the theme matches your business long term.

  • Brand scope: If your products go beyond gold, the domain may feel too narrow.
  • Clarity: Visitors may not know if the site is retail, education, or something else without context.
  • User habits: Some visitors may still expect .com.

Because of these factors, Website.com currently focuses on proven, widely recognized extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG. .GOLD domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
