Its meaning is clear and instantly relatable.

  • Perfect for personal and family projects

Why you might not choose .FAMILY

While .FAMILY is warm and clear, there are a few considerations:
  • Limited scope: Best suited for personal or family-focused content.
  • Professional use: May not fit corporate branding.
  • Audience reach: More niche than general-purpose domains.
  • Recognition: Less established than legacy extensions.

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