Where .online came from

Released in 2015 as a general-purpose alternative, .online was adopted broadly by small businesses and personal projects looking for an affordable, available domain without a narrow category attached to it.

Choosing a name for .online

Since the extension itself is generic, put more weight on the name in front of it — .online doesn't add or subtract meaning the way .shop or .ai does, so the brand name carries the full weight of first impressions.
