It may be used by agents, developers, community sites, and location-based platforms.

Why businesses choose .PLACE

  • Flexible meaning for location-based content
  • Good fit for neighbourhood and destination pages
  • Easy for visitors to understand
  • Useful for branding places and developments

Why you might not choose .PLACE

While .PLACE is flexible, there are a few considerations:
  • Broad meaning: Less specific than property-focused extensions.
  • Clarity: May require strong context to signal real estate.
  • Recognition: Less familiar than traditional extensions.
  • User habits: Some visitors still expect .COM.

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. .PLACE domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
