Domain name extensions like .SITE and .STORE are more than just a way to create an address for your website. They've been designed to give your online branding efforts a boost. See why .SITE and .STORE in particular have become go-tos for SMBs and e-commerce sites looking to improve their online branding.

New domain name extensions offer multiple benefits

New gTLDs (generic top-level domains) like .SITE and .STORE provide registrants numerous advantages. A few key benefits include:

Availability

Domain extensions like .SITE and .STORE are new, increasing your chances of being able to register a domain with a keyword or phrase that best suits your needs. Legacy extensions (like .COM) provide far fewer domain name options – that is, unless you’re willing to compromise on your domain name which, from an online branding perspective, can be a risky move to be sure.

Branding

.SITE and .STORE are memorable. Short, simple domain extension like these place the emphasis on your brand name or keyword for higher brand recall. Imagine the possibilities: “yourbrand.STORE”, “yourproduct.STORE”, "yourservice.SITE". Higher brand recall is an important way to improve your search engine (SEO) ranking.

Perception

Your domain name will influence how customers perceive you. A domain name on a .STORE extension, for example, unambiguously announces who you are and what you offer. .STORE is a sign post: "We are the online shopping destination for what you need." Users will know exactly what they will find before they even click on your site.

Impact
