The .SALON domain extension was introduced during ICANN's new generic top-level domain expansion and is generally associated with websites connected to its name and theme.

Why you might not choose .SALON

Before choosing a .SALON domain, consider how it fits your audience and long-term goals.

  • Local search: Many salons rely on local listings, so the domain is only one part of discovery.
  • Email and sharing: You may need to repeat the full address so clients remember it.
  • User habits: Some visitors may still expect .com.

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