History and Background of the .MBA Domain

The .MBA 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 business education and MBA-related programs.

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, .MBA is commonly used for business schools, MBA program information, and professional education content.

Why you might not choose .MBA

While .MBA is highly specific, there are a few considerations:
  • Narrow scope: Best suited for MBA-related content only.
  • Audience expectations: Visitors may expect official program information.
  • Recognition: Less familiar than general-purpose extensions.
  • Brand flexibility: Harder to expand beyond MBA topics.

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