Trending domain extensions

The ending of a domain says a lot about a brand. Here's what founders around the world are choosing, why, and what to watch out for.

.comGlobal classic

Still the most registered extension in the world and the one people type by habit. The safest home for a brand that wants to grow across countries.

.aiRising fast

Passed one million registrations in early 2026, driven by AI startups. Short names are scarce, and yearly renewals cost more than .com.

.shopRising

One of the fastest-growing newer extensions. It tells visitors straight away that they can buy something.

.appSecure by default

Browsers only open .app sites over HTTPS, so every site is encrypted. Popular for mobile and web apps.

.ioTech favourite

Long loved by developer tools and SaaS. It is a country code, so its long-term rules could change: worth knowing before you build on it.

.coShort and global

Read as "company" around the world. Some visitors type .com by habit, so owning both is wise.

.xyzBig and flexible

Based on industry registration reports, including the Verisign Domain Name Industry Brief (Q1 2026) and registry announcements. Trends describe popularity, not future value.

Which one is right for you?

Selling worldwide

Choose .com if you can. It's the ending people assume and type without thinking, in every country.

AI or software product

.ai, .io, .app and .dev tell people it's tech before they click. Check renewal prices: some cost much more than .com each year.

Online store

.shop and .store say "buy here" instantly. Own the .com too if your brand grows.

Local business

Your country's ending (like .de, .co.uk, .com.au or .in) builds trust with local customers and can help local search.

Country extensions around the world

A local ending says "we're here" and builds trust with local customers. Search for a country, or pick a region. Some endings need a local connection such as residence or a registered business, and registry rules change, so always confirm with the registry or your registrar before you buy.
