History and Background of the .CASA Domain

The .CASA domain extension was introduced during ICANN's new generic top-level domain expansion as a descriptive language-based domain. The word "casa" is used in Italian and Spanish to mean "house" or "home".

Its use was largely limited to websites related to real estate, home services, interiors, architecture, and residential living.

Why you might not choose .CASA

Before choosing a .CASA domain, consider language clarity and audience expectations.

  • Language: Users unfamiliar with Italian or Spanish may not understand the meaning.
  • Scope: It may not fit projects unrelated to homes or residential topics.
  • User habits: Some visitors may still default to .com.

Because of these factors, Website.com currently focuses on proven, widely recognized extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG. .CASA domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
