What is .JOBS?

.JOBS is a specialised domain extension for employment-related websites. Companies often use it to host career portals, application pages, or recruitment platforms.

Its clarity makes it effective for job seekers and hiring teams.

Who can register a .JOBS domain?

Generally, .JOBS domains may require verification because they are intended for legitimate organisations offering employment information.

Policies may vary depending on the registrar.

Why businesses choose .JOBS

  • Perfect for job boards and career pages
  • Clean and professional branding
  • Helps job seekers instantly recognise the purpose
  • Separates hiring content from a company's main website

Why you might not choose .JOBS

Before selecting .JOBS, consider:
  • Usage restrictions: Some registrars may require employment-related verification.
  • Narrow audience: Best suited only for hiring or career content.
  • Brand separation: Managing a separate domain may require extra upkeep.
  • Recognition: Less widely known compared to .COM or .ORG.

Because of these factors, Website.com provides widely recognized extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG for flexible branding needs.
