Question 1

What is a domain extension?

Accepted Answer

A domain extension is the last part of your domain, following the “dot” in example.com. These include extensions like .com, .net, .org and many others. Domain extensions are also referred to as top-level domains (TLD) and can be used to indicate the purpose or location of a website.

Question 2

How do I choose a TLD for my website?

Accepted Answer

Choosing the right domain extension can help users better understand what your website is about. For example, a user visiting a .store domain would reasonably expect to see products for sale on the website. And beyond branding, certain country-code top-level domains (ccTLD) can show relevance for specific local users, such as a .ca domain for Canadian users. Consider these factors before finalizing your primary domain!

Question 3

Should I own more than one domain extension for my site?

Accepted Answer

There can be several benefits to owning more than one TLD for your website, which can be forwarded or redirected to your primary domain. You can protect your brand name on multiple domain extensions to avoid confusion with other similarly named businesses. This also prevents others from registering similar domains to yours in the future (or at least for as long as you renew these domains names).

Question 4

What TLDs can I use on my Squarespace website?

Accepted Answer

Squarespace Domains offers a wide catalog of generic and country-code top-level domains, or gTLD and ccTLD, for purchase. You can visit the Squarespace Help Center for our full list of available TLDs.
