History and Background of the .LEASE Domain

The .LEASE 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 leasing-related services and contract-focused projects.

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, .LEASE is commonly used for property leasing, vehicle leasing, and leasing services.

Why you might not choose .LEASE

While .LEASE is clear, there are a few considerations:
  • Specific focus: Best suited for lease and rental topics.
  • Brand scope: Less suitable for broad real estate branding.
  • Clarity: May not be ideal for property sales audiences.
  • Recognition: Less common than traditional extensions like .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. .LEASE domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
