Common questions

Is .com still worth it in 2026?

For anything customer-facing, yes — it remains the extension people assume by default when they can't remember your exact URL.

Can I move my .com later?

Domains transfer between registrars freely once past the 60-day lock after registration or a prior transfer.

Guide

The complete guide to .com domains

Where .com came from

.com has been the internet's default commercial extension since 1985, and even now, when someone hears a business name out loud, they'll usually assume it ends in .com unless told otherwise. That assumption is worth real money — it's the reason exact-match .com domains still resell for five and six figures, and why most people won't bother typing an extension into a browser at all.

Choosing a name for .com

Because adding .com is the default mental step for most people, keep the actual name short, easy to spell after hearing it once, and free of hyphens or numbers that have to be explained out loud. If your ideal .com is taken, resist the urge to bolt on a filler word like 'get' or 'try' — it's usually better to adjust the core name than to dilute the extension's trust with a workaround prefix.
