History and Background of the .LIFE Domain

The .LIFE 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, .LIFE is commonly used for lifestyle, wellness, and personal content.

Why you might not choose .LIFE

While .LIFE is versatile and expressive, there are a few considerations:
  • Broad scope: May require clear branding to define purpose.
  • Professional tone: Some businesses may prefer more formal extensions.
  • Recognition: Less established than legacy domains.
  • Audience clarity: Not industry-specific.

Because of these factors, Website.com focuses on trusted and widely recognised extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG. .LIFE domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
