History and Background of the .MOTORCYCLES Domain

The .MOTORCYCLES domain extension was delegated on May 1, 2014 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 launched through standard registration phases, including a sunrise period (a phase that allows trademark holders to register names first) before becoming generally available. Today, .MOTORCYCLES is commonly used for motorcycle communities, services, events, and related content.

Why you might not choose .MOTORCYCLES

Before choosing a .MOTORCYCLES domain, it can help to think about how it fits your brand and audience.

  • Recognition: Some visitors may still default to .com out of habit.
  • Brand fit: It is niche, so it may not suit brands that cover topics beyond motorcycles.
  • Length: It is a longer extension, which can make full domain names less concise.

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