Why you might not choose .HOMES

While .HOMES is clear, there are a few considerations:
  • Specific focus: Best suited for residential properties.
  • Recognition: Less familiar than traditional extensions like .COM.
  • Brand flexibility: Less suitable if you cover many industries.
  • User habits: Some visitors may still type .COM by default.

Because of these factors, Website.com currently focuses on proven, widely recognized extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG that deliver consistency, affordability, and broad recognition. .HOMES domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
