Overview

What is .construction

The word construction means building, and the extension’s name sets its field: contracting, execution, renovation and any work built on putting structures up. .construction entered the internet’s root in 2013 as a new generic extension; it is run by Binky Moon, LLC and supports names in Arabic and DNSSEC signing.

It suits contracting companies, renovation contractors, finishing workshops and building-material suppliers, and fits the site of a project under construction whose owners follow its progress photo by photo. In every city whose districts grow and whose homes are renewed, people search every day for someone who builds and repairs, and the address tells them they’ve found one.

We have a first-year offer, and renewal costs a little more. But the word is long and needs spelling out on the phone, and many people know it less well than .com, so register with it a short name in .com that’s easy to say and leads to it.

Who it suits

For your field: is .construction the best fit?

Every field has an extension that says something about it. Here is what .construction says in each, and which extension completes it.

  • A contracting company

    Excellent · The first choice

    It states your work in one word, and shows your finished projects to anyone looking for a contractor.

    Register it with.construction.com

  • A renovation contractor in Bahrain

    Good · A good fit with .com

    Your city’s name before .construction tells a homeowner you’re close by, and .com serves those who type your name out of habit; register both.

    Register it with.com.construction

  • Building materials

    Good · A good fit

    For a supplier or materials showroom it states the field, and .supply says you supply.

    Register it with.construction.supply

  • An engineering office

    Good · A good fit

    If your work is design and supervision more than execution, .engineering is more precise; together they cover the whole job.

    Register it with.engineering.construction

  • A housing project under construction

    Good · A good fit

    Its own address where buyers follow the building’s progress, and .estate for selling after handover.

    Register it with.construction.estate

  • A home and décor blog

    Consider another · Consider .blog

    Visitors expect a contractor who builds, while you write about the home and its decoration; .blog or .style is closer.

    Register it with.blog.style

Tips

Before you register

  1. 1A short name to balance its lengthThe extension is long, so keep the company’s name before it to one word that reads from afar on a vehicle.
  2. 2A shorter address for vehiclesPrint on your vehicles a name in .com or .co that leads to your site here; it’s shorter.
  3. 3A short name, read as it’s writtenIf it needs spelling out on the phone, it’s too long or too complicated.
  4. 4No digits or hyphens that need explainingEvery hyphen or digit has to be said, and what has to be said gets forgotten.
  5. 5Renew automatically, or register for yearsUp to 10 years at once, so you never miss a date.
  6. 6Make sure the name isn’t someone else’s trademarkA registered trademark’s owner can recover the name from whoever registered it first.
