History and Background of the .RACING Domain

The .RACING 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.

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, .RACING is commonly used for motorsports and racing-related projects.

Why you might not choose .RACING

  • Niche appeal: Best suited only for racing related content.
  • Lower familiarity: Many visitors still expect a .COM or country code extension.
  • Longer extension: The word "racing" adds length to your full domain.
  • Pricing differences: Specialist hobby extensions can be priced differently than classic TLDs.

For most general projects, Website.com focuses on well established extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG. .RACING domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
