History and Background of the .MARKETING Domain

The .MARKETING 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 marketing-related services and content.

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, .MARKETING is commonly used by marketing agencies and professionals.

Why you might not choose .MARKETING

While .MARKETING is descriptive, there are a few considerations:
  • Length: The extension can make domain names longer.
  • Specific focus: Best suited for marketing-related content.
  • Recognition: Less familiar than traditional extensions like .COM.
  • User habits: Some visitors may still default to .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. .MARKETING domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
