Its use was largely limited to community sites, lifestyle content, and audience-specific projects.

Why you might not choose .MEN

Before choosing a .MEN domain, consider audience fit and clarity.

  • Scope: The audience focus may feel limiting for broader brands.
  • Interpretation: Visitors may expect a specific type of content based on the name.
  • User habits: Many visitors still expect a .com address.

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