Why businesses choose .TEAM

  • Ideal for sports, esports, clubs, and communities
  • Friendly and memorable branding
  • Shows unity and collaboration
  • Great for internal company teams or public groups

History and Background of the .TEAM Domain

The .TEAM 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, .TEAM is commonly used for sports teams, organisations, and group initiatives.

Why you might not choose .TEAM

While .TEAM domains fit many collaborative projects, consider the following:
  • Niche appeal: Best suited for groups or communities, not general business use.
  • Longer extension: Compared to short extensions like .COM or .IO, it may not feel as concise.
  • Brand clarity: Not ideal for companies unless the focus is teamwork or community-building.

Because of these factors, Website.com highlights strong, widely recognized extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG for long-term branding.
