What is .LGBT?

The .LGBT domain is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) designed for LGBTQ+ communities, advocacy groups, events, and personal projects.

It offers a clear and affirming digital identity.

Who can register a .LGBT domain?

Anyone can register a .LGBT domain – there are no membership or identity requirements.

It's commonly used by non-profits, community groups, businesses, and allies.

Why organisations choose .LGBT

  • Strong signal of inclusion and support
  • Clear identity for LGBTQ+ initiatives
  • Builds trust within the community
  • Meaningful and values-driven branding

Why you might not choose .LGBT

While .LGBT is expressive and meaningful, there are considerations:
  • Specific audience: Best suited for LGBTQ+ focused projects.
  • Brand scope: Less flexible for unrelated content.
  • Public perception: May not align with all brand strategies.
  • Recognition: Less common than legacy extensions.

For broader branding flexibility, Website.com prioritises extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG. .LGBT domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
