Register a .site domain
Plain and self-explanatory: a .site address is simply a website. It suits projects that need a clear name more than a particular industry label.
About .site
Introduced among the new generic zones in 2015, .site carries no subject of its own; the word is the same in many languages and simply names what the address leads to.
Typical users are small businesses that need a one-page business card site, freelancers building a homepage, event organisers, agencies creating landing pages for campaigns, and website builders' customers who want a short custom name. In Russian, Azerbaijani and several other languages “sayt” or “сайт” is how people say “website”, so the ending feels familiar.
Since the ending is generic, the name in front of it should be specific. A company name, a person's name or a short description of the service — “dentist-baku.site”, for example — makes the address useful on its own. Avoid combining it with words like “web” or “page”, which only repeat the ending.
Good for
Business card sites
A small firm can publish its services, prices page and contacts at a short address that is easy to print.
Campaign landing pages
Agencies and marketers can register a separate .site for each campaign and keep the main domain untouched.
Personal homepages
A name-based .site gives you a neutral address for links, projects and contact details.
