  • Clear and professional for academic audiences
  • Suitable for schools, courses, and student resources
  • Helps establish credibility and trust

Why you might not choose .SCHOOL

While .SCHOOL is clear and descriptive, there are a few considerations:
  • Narrow focus: Best suited for education-related content.
  • Brand flexibility: Less versatile for non-academic projects.
  • Recognition: Not as universally familiar as .COM.
  • Availability: Some short names may already be taken.

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