History and Background of the .STUDY Domain

The .STUDY 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. It was introduced for study resources and education-focused content.

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, .STUDY is commonly used for learning resources, study tools, and academic support sites.

Why you might not choose .STUDY

While .STUDY is clear for learning content, there are a few considerations:
  • Specific focus: Best suited for education and study resources.
  • Brand flexibility: Less suitable for broader business sites.
  • Recognition: Less common than extensions like .COM.
  • Audience expectations: Visitors may expect helpful study materials.

Because of these factors, Website.com currently focuses on proven, widely recognized extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG that deliver consistency, affordability, and broad recognition. .STUDY domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
