Its use was largely limited to personal blogs, parenting resources, and community-focused projects.

Why you might not choose .MOM

Before choosing a .MOM domain, consider audience and long-term scope.

  • Narrow focus: The name is strongly tied to motherhood.
  • Brand flexibility: It may not fit broader family or lifestyle brands.
  • 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. .MOM domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
