Why .xxx?

Why should you choose a .xxx domain name?

The .xxx domain ending was created in the early 2010s as traditional domain endings were starting to get oversaturated (especially .com). Like other generic domain endings like .hotel for those in the hospitality industry, and .wine for those involved in making and marketing wine, .xxx was specifically intended to serve one industry in particular: the adult entertainment industry, an economic sector that now depends almost exclusively on the internet.

A .xxx domain name is an opportunity to show that you're part of a specific industry

In demand with the X-rated industry, .xxx helps you clearly identify your online business to internet users, but also to show that you belong to a well defined area of activity. This domain ending also has an international breadth, since "xxx" is associated with adult entertainment in most of Western Europe, and North and South America.

Promote your business with .xxx

The .xxx domain ending was quickly adopted by many in adult entertainment, and today has a monopoly in the market. By getting a .xxx domain name, you guarantee your webpage will enjoy a good ranking in search engine results around the world.
