History and Background of the .GUITARS Domain

The .GUITARS 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, .GUITARS is commonly used by musicians, retailers, and guitar-related communities.

Why you might not choose .GUITARS

  • Very narrow focus: It is only a good fit if your brand is truly guitar specific.
  • Long extension: The word "guitars" can make domains longer and harder to type.
  • Lower recognition: General audiences may be more comfortable with .COM.
  • Future flexibility: If you expand beyond guitars, the domain may feel limiting.

Because of these concerns, Website.com focuses on flexible, widely recognized extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG. .GUITARS domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
