Overview

What is .engineering

The word engineering covers every branch: civil, architectural, electrical, mechanical and more, and the extension’s name gathers them all under one address. .engineering entered the internet’s root in 2014 as a new generic extension; it is run by Binky Moon, LLC and supports names in Arabic and DNSSEC signing.

It suits engineering offices, freelance engineers, supervision and design-study offices and technical consultancies. Visitors read it as a statement of profession before they read your name, so it suits those who actually practice engineering, and misleads if someone who doesn’t practice it holds it, even if their work is close to it.

We have a first-year offer, and renewal costs much more, so look at the renewal price before choosing it. The word is long and needs spelling out on the phone, and it’s less familiar than .com, so register with it a short name in .com or .co that’s easy to say and leads to it.

  • A contracting company

    Good · A good fit

    If execution is your main work, .construction is clearer; together they say design and execution.

    Good · A good fit

    For courses in the specialty, .engineering states the field and .academy says it’s teaching.

    Register it with.engineering.academy

  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.
