History and Background of the .TRAINING Domain

The .TRAINING 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 training programs and skills development.

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, .TRAINING is commonly used by training providers, course platforms, and certification programs.

Why you might not choose .TRAINING

While .TRAINING is clear and descriptive, there are a few considerations:
  • Longer extension: Can result in longer domain names.
  • Specific focus: Best suited for learning and training content.
  • Audience expectations: Visitors may expect structured programs.
  • Recognition: Less familiar than general-purpose 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. .TRAINING domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
