History and Background of the .CREDITCARD Domain

The .CREDITCARD 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.

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, .CREDITCARD is commonly used for credit card information, comparison services, and financial platforms.

Why you might not choose .CREDITCARD

  • Very niche: Only works for card-related financial services.
  • Long extension: May be harder for users to remember or type.
  • Lower recognition: Many users still expect .COM sites.
  • Higher cost: Financial extensions can have premium pricing.

For consistent recognition and trust, Website.com recommends .COM, .NET, and .ORG. .CREDITCARD domains are not supported at this time.
