History and Background of the .HOLIDAY Domain

The .HOLIDAY 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 holiday and travel-related content.

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, .HOLIDAY is commonly used for travel planning and vacation services.

Why you might not choose .HOLIDAY

While .HOLIDAY is descriptive, there are a few considerations:
  • Broad meaning: It may not specify a travel niche on its own.
  • Seasonal focus: Traffic may vary by time of year.
  • Recognition: Less familiar than traditional extensions.
  • User habits: Some visitors may still default to .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. .HOLIDAY domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
