History and Background of the .FINANCE Domain

The .FINANCE 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, .FINANCE is commonly used for financial services, advisory firms, and finance-related content.

Why you might not choose .FINANCE

  • Lower public familiarity: Most users still default to .COM.
  • Longer extension: Slightly more difficult to type or remember.
  • Higher pricing: Industry-specific domains may cost more.
  • Niche positioning: Only suitable for finance-focused brands.

Because of these limitations, Website.com recommends .COM, .NET, and .ORG for broader reach. .FINANCE domains are not supported at this time.
