History and Background of the .KITCHEN Domain

The .KITCHEN 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.

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, .KITCHEN is commonly used by kitchen designers, retailers, and renovation services.

Why you might not choose .KITCHEN

While .KITCHEN is very descriptive, there are considerations:
  • Longer extension: Domain names may become lengthy depending on the chosen name.
  • Niche-specific: Best suited only for cooking, food, or kitchen-related content.
  • Lower recognition: Some users may be more familiar with standard extensions like .COM.

Because of these factors, Website.com focuses on broadly recognized extensions like .COM, .NET, and .ORG for the widest visibility and trust. .KITCHEN is not currently available for registration through Website.com.

Similar alternatives available at Website.com

If you're looking for a domain with broad appeal, consider:
  • .COM – globally trusted for all types of websites
  • .NET – popular for online services and platforms
  • .ORG – great for communities and special-interest groups
