Who can register a .VIN domain?

Anyone can register a .VIN domain. It's especially popular in regions where 'vin' is part of everyday wine terminology.

Why businesses choose .VIN

  • Authentic identity for wine-based brands
  • Memorable and meaningful in many languages
  • Great for vineyards, tasting rooms, and wine clubs
  • Creates a premium, lifestyle-focused presence

Why you might not choose .VIN

Although .VIN is elegant, consider these points:
  • Niche focus: Works mainly for wine-related brands.
  • Lower global familiarity: Not as widely recognized as .COM.
  • Potential confusion: May be mistaken for abbreviations or initials.
  • Brand alignment: Best only for wine-specific projects.

Because of these factors, Website.com prioritises offering extensions with broad appeal such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG. .VIN domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
