Overview

What is .estate

The word estate means property or holdings, and people know it from the phrase real estate, so they read the extension as homes, land and shops. .estate 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 real estate offices, developers and those who manage or rent out property, and it also fits the site of a single housing project showing its apartments, plans and prices. On its own the word can also mean a country estate or a deceased person’s estate, but its tie to property is the one closest to people’s minds.

We have a first-year offer, and renewal costs more. Many people know it less well than .com, and it doesn’t say which city you work in, so put your city’s or district’s name before it if your listings are in Lebanon, so customers know from the address that you’re close by.

Who it suits

For your field: is .estate the best fit?

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

  • A real estate office

    Excellent · The first choice

    It names your work with a word everyone looking for a home or shop understands, and .land completes it for land listings.

    Register it with.estate.land

  • A housing developer

    Good · A good fit

    Each project gets a .estate name gathering its plans and photos, while the company’s name stays in .com.

    Register it with.estate.com

  • Property management and rentals

    Good · A good fit

    It says you manage property for its owners, and the district’s or city’s name before it says where you work; .com serves those who type your name out of habit.

    Register it with.estate.com

  • An independent property agent

    Good · A good fit

    Your name with .estate presents your work and gathers your listings wherever you post them.

    Register it with.estate.pro

  • Contracting and building

    Consider another · Consider .construction

    Those who build don’t necessarily sell; .construction states your work more precisely.

    Register it with.construction.com

  • Interior design

    Consider another · Consider .style

    Visitors expect listings for sale and rent, while you show design; .style is closer to your work.

    Register it with.style.com

  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.
