Why .exchange?
Details about the .exchange domain ending
In the 2010s, new domain endings were introduced to help deal with the oversaturation of traditional domain endings like .com or .net, already omnipresent online. The .exchange domain ending was added in 2014 and quickly attracted the attention of different business sectors linked to the processes of exchange: Microsoft's email service with the same name, foreign exchange organizations, financial exchange platforms, and more.
A .exchange domain name is perfect for businesses in several sectors
Just like domain endings like .immo, .hotel, or even .info, .exchange indicates in its very name the type of site it's intended for. As such, since it was created, .exchange has been used by businesses linked to commerce, trade, and even currency exchange. It can, then, relate to a number of different companies, both English-speaking and not, with most having an international scope. This domain ending is available to any organization or private individual and it's also easy to use with whatever name suits you best.
Promote your business with a .exchange domain name
Due to the businesses that have adopted it and to its international scope, .exchange is known as a serious domain ending that's trustworthy when it comes to digital security, and .exchange helps promote your business on search engines.
