Overview

What is .investments

The word investments needs no translation, and the extension’s name sets its field: managing money, project opportunities and any work built on putting capital to use. .investments 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 investment firms, asset-management and feasibility-study offices, and those presenting projects that seek partners or funding. Visitors read it as a statement of investment work, so it suits those who actually do it, and misleads if a site that manages no money and presents no project holds it.

We have a first-year offer, but the renewal is among the most expensive extensions we sell, and much higher than the offer. The word is long and needs spelling out when said, so register with it a short name in .com or .co that’s easy to say and leads visitors to it.

Who it suits

For your field: is .investments the best fit?

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

  • An investment firm

    Excellent · The first choice

    It states your work in one word, and .com completes it for those who type the company’s name without an extension.

    Register it with.investments.com

  • Investment opportunities in Oman

    Good · A good fit with .com

    Investors read your field in .investments, and the city’s name before it says where the projects are; .com serves those who type your name out of habit.

    Register it with.com.investments

  • A holding company

    Good · A good fit

    .investments says your work is investment, and .holdings says you own companies; choose what describes your work more precisely.

    Register it with.holdings.investments

  • Property for investment

    Good · A good fit

    For property offered for its return, .investments states the purpose and .estate the kind of asset.

    Register it with.investments.estate

  • An investment blog

    Consider another · Consider .blog

    Visitors take it for a body that manages money while you only write; a short extension suits a blog better.

    Register it with.blog.com

  • A small business or store

    Consider another · Consider .com

    Its renewal is high for work that doesn’t revolve around investment, and the word is long for a customer who wants a store.

    Register it with.com.store

What it does for you

What you gain when you register it

  • Your field in the address

    Investors know from the link they’re facing investment work, not a store or a blog.

  • Email that presents your work

    info@thimar-muscat.investments tells whoever receives it that the message comes from a body working in investment.

  • Short words still free

    Short words were taken in .com long ago, and you may find them free here.

  • Your name protected

    Register your company’s name here before someone else uses it for a page impersonating you to investors.

And where its value shows

In a project pitch

A link fit for a file shown to investors.

In periodic reports

An address that shows the field beside the figures.

In correspondence

Email whose source is known before it’s opened.

At conferences

On your card, beside your professional title.

  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.
