History and Background of the .MONEY Domain

The .MONEY 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, .MONEY is commonly used for personal finance, education, and money-related platforms.

Why you might not choose .MONEY

  • Casual tone: The word "money" can feel informal for some corporate brands.
  • Lower recognition: Users may not be used to seeing .MONEY as a domain ending.
  • Broad meaning: It may not feel specific enough for highly specialized services.
  • Possible cost: Themed extensions can carry different pricing than classic ones.

Because of these trade offs, Website.com often recommends more traditional extensions like .COM, .NET, and .ORG. .MONEY domains are not available to register at Website.com.
