Tips for Registering a .COMPANY Domain Name

If you’ve decided to register a .COMPANY domain, follow these best practices to maximize its effectiveness:

1. Choose a Short & Memorable Name

  • Keep it concise (avoid long names).
  • Ensure it’s easy to type and spell.
  • Avoid hyphens and numbers, which can confuse users.

2. Align with Your Business Name

  • Ideally, your domain should match your company name (e.g., YourBrand.company).
  • If your exact name isn’t available, consider variations:
    • Add relevant keywords (YourIndustry.company).
    • Use abbreviations or initials (ABC.company).

3. Secure the .COM Version if Possible

  • Even if you prefer .COMPANY, owning the .COM version prevents confusion.
  • Redirect .COM to your .COMPANY website if necessary.

4. Avoid Trademarks & Legal Issues

  • Check for trademark conflicts before registering.
  • Use databases like USPTO (US) or WIPO (Global) to verify.

5. Think About Branding & SEO

  • A .COMPANY domain can work well for B2B businesses, corporations, or professional services.
  • Ensure your brand name is unique to stand out in search results.

6. Check Social Media Availability

  • Make sure your domain name is available on platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
  • Consistent branding across web and social media helps build trust.

7. Register for Multiple Years

  • Domain expiration can lead to loss or higher renewal costs.
  • Register for at least 2-5 years to protect your online presence.

8. Get SSL & Professional Email

9. Set Up Redirection (If Needed)

  • If you have a primary .COM domain, set up redirection so visitors who type .COMPANY are directed correctly.
