History and Background of the .RSVP Domain

The .RSVP 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, .RSVP is commonly used for event invitations and response management.

Why you might not choose .RSVP

While .RSVP is clear and practical, there are a few limitations:
  • Single-purpose: Best suited for invitation-based projects.
  • Short-term use: Often tied to specific events.
  • Brand flexibility: Limited for broader content.
  • Recognition: Less common than traditional domains.

Because of these factors, Website.com prioritises extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG. .RSVP domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
