History and Background of the .REPAIR Domain

The .REPAIR domain extension was delegated on December 17, 2013 during ICANN's new generic top-level domain expansion. Delegation refers to the point when a domain extension is officially added to the global domain name system and becomes technically active. It was introduced for repair and maintenance services.

Following standard registration phases, including a sunrise period, it became available for general registration. Today, .REPAIR is commonly used by service providers offering repair services.

Why you might not choose .REPAIR

While .REPAIR can be a good fit for some projects, there are a few drawbacks to consider:
  • Lower recognition: Some visitors may be less familiar with .REPAIR compared to legacy extensions like .COM, .NET, or .ORG.
  • Possible higher cost: Depending on the registrar and current pricing, .REPAIR domains may cost more to register or renew than standard extensions.
  • Brand confusion: Customers might misremember your address or default to typing a .COM version instead.
  • Long-term strategy: Some brands may prefer to build on more established extensions for long-term recognition.

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