Overview

What is .land

The word land means the ground: land that is sold, farmed and built on, and it also means a country, as in the word homeland. .land 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 offices selling land and farms and those working in surveying and planning, and fits a farming project or a farm showing its produce. As across the region, many people in Iraq see land as the surest place to keep their savings, so .land speaks of familiar work.

We have a first-year offer, and renewal costs more. Many people know it less well than .com, and its word is broad enough to carry more than one meaning, so let what comes before it make your work clear. Put the area’s name in it if your customer is in Iraq: whoever buys land wants to know the seller is close by.

Who it suits

For your field: is .land the best fit?

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

  • Land and farm sales

    Excellent · The first choice

    It states what you offer in one word, and .com completes it for those who type your name out of habit.

    Register it with.land.com

  • A farm or farming project

    Good · A good fit

    It says your work is on the land, and .green says it’s farming and greenery.

    Register it with.land.green

  • A surveying and planning office

    Good · A good fit

    For a surveyor or planner who measures and divides land, .land states the material and .engineering the specialty.

    Register it with.land.engineering

  • A general real estate office

    Good · A good fit

    If your listings are more land than homes, .land is more precise; otherwise .estate is broader.

    Register it with.estate.land

  • Rural tourism

    Good · A good fit

    Land and nature in one name, and .tours says you welcome visitors.

    Register it with.land.tours

  • An online store

    Consider another · Consider .store

    Land in a store’s name doesn’t say what you sell; a trade extension is clearer to your buyer.

    Register it with.store.com

Tips

Before you register

  1. 1The area or village in the nameLand buyers search by the area’s name, so put it in the address before .land.
  2. 2Say your trade before the extensionThe word is broad, so let what comes before it say whether you sell, farm or survey.
  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.
