History and Background of the .MIAMI Domain

Its use was largely limited to organizations, businesses, and projects that wanted a clear connection to Miami.

Why you might not choose .MIAMI

Before choosing a .MIAMI domain, consider name length, recognition, and project scope.

  • Length: The extension can make domain names longer and less concise.
  • Recognition: Some visitors may still default to a .com address.
  • Scope: It may not fit projects that are not Miami-focused.

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