History and Background of the .SURGERY Domain

The .SURGERY 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 surgical services and medical specialities.

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, .SURGERY is commonly used by surgical clinics, specialists, and healthcare providers.

Why you might not choose .SURGERY

While .SURGERY is clear, there are a few considerations:
  • Specific focus: Best suited for surgery-related services.
  • High expectations: Visitors may expect professional standards and accuracy.
  • Brand scope: Less suitable for general wellness brands.
  • Recognition: Less familiar than traditional extensions.

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. .SURGERY domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
