Why you might not choose .COLLEGE

While .COLLEGE is clear, there are a few considerations:
  • Specific focus: Not ideal for non-education projects.
  • Perception: May imply formal accreditation or official status.
  • Brand flexibility: Less versatile than broad extensions like .COM.
  • Audience reach: Narrower appeal outside education.

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. .COLLEGE domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
