History and Background of the .TENNIS Domain

The .TENNIS 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, .TENNIS is commonly used for tennis clubs, events, and training resources.

Why you might not choose .TENNIS

While .TENNIS is highly relevant for the sport, consider the following:
  • Highly niche: Not suitable for brands outside the tennis industry.
  • Long extension: Longer to type compared to short, versatile domains.
  • Limited cross-industry use: Harder to repurpose if your brand expands beyond tennis.

Because of its niche focus, Website.com recommends widely recognized extensions like .COM, .NET, and .ORG for general-purpose branding.
