Why you might not choose .SCIENCE

While .SCIENCE is clear for its audience, there are a few considerations:
  • Narrow scope: Best suited for science-related content.
  • Audience expectations: Visitors may expect accurate and well-sourced information.
  • Recognition: Less common than extensions like .COM.
  • Brand flexibility: Not ideal for broader topics outside science.

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