History and Background of the .LAND Domain

The .LAND 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 land-related listings and real estate services.

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, .LAND is commonly used for land sales, development projects, and property listings.

Why you might not choose .LAND

While .LAND is specific and clear, there are a few considerations:
  • Narrow scope: Best suited for land-related content.
  • Audience fit: Less relevant for general housing searches.
  • Recognition: Less familiar than traditional extensions.
  • Brand flexibility: Not ideal if you mainly sell homes or condos.

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. .LAND domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
