History and Background of the .CREDIT Domain

The .CREDIT domain extension was delegated in 2014 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 goes through standard launch phases, including a sunrise period (which allows trademark holders to register names first) before becoming available to the general public. It was introduced for credit-related services and financial products. Today, .CREDIT is commonly used by lenders, credit services, and finance platforms.

Why you might not choose .CREDIT

  • Lower recognition: Users may not be familiar with new TLDs.
  • Higher cost: Specialty financial domains may have higher renewal fees.
  • Niche focus: Works best only for credit-related businesses.
  • Customer trust: Some audiences prefer traditional extensions.

Because of these considerations, Website.com focuses on widely recognized extensions like .COM, .NET, and .ORG. .CREDIT domains are not available at this time.
