Why .news?
Assert your expertise with a .news domain name
One of the most evocative terms on the internet the world over, .news immediately brings to mind headlines and investigative reports. It also enjoys a high level of trust: a site that uses a .news domain name is generally perceived as a trusted source of information. Buying a .news domain name, then, is a way for news entities to boost their credibility.
Bring together your community with a .news domain name
The .news domain ending is considered a generic domain ending. Available to individuals as well as organizations, you can use yours to share different types of news — in real time or after the fact:
- Current events
- Conferences ;
- Job offers
- A social media livestream
Your website becomes a space for centralizing and sharing information with your community.
A .news domain name: an option open to everyone
The .news domain ending is popular because domain name registrants get a short, impactful, and streamlined URL that's easy to remember. Registering a .news domain name works on the usual "first come, first served" system and it only takes a few minutes to buy a .news domain name.
