Looking for a website that suits your business or profession? You’re in luck: Among the hundreds of New Domain endings now available for general registration, there are a ton of choices that can be used to highlight what you do for a living. Whether you’re creating an online portfolio for your job hunt, looking to connect with new clients, or creating a website for your business, these career-related domains just might be perfect for you.

.ATTORNEY & .LAWYER

Law firms and individuals alike can create a memorable presence for their practice with a .LAWYER or .ATTORNEY domain. Use a first name-last name model to showcase your work and cases, or use your firm’s name instead. Or, focus on your location to take advantage of relevant keywords in organic search—sites like jacksonville.attorney are already using this method for a major boost in SEO.

.ACCOUNTANT

Are you an accountant? There’s a New Domain out there for you too. Register a .ACCOUNTANT domain to bring in new clients or create a blog that answers common accounting questions. The domain ending can also be used for websites that offer accounting software or educational sites for those interested in the field.

.CONTRACTORS

Builders, contractors and subcontractors, masons, and anyone else who works on a contract basis can take advantage o the .CONTRACTORS domain. This domain makes it clear that you (as an individual or business) provide materials, labor, or services of some kind.

.DENTIST

Have your own dental practice? The .DENTIST domain lets you patients know exactly which services you offer and that you are a trusted provider of dental work. Use your own name for a first name-last name website or even your city name to help locals discover you in organic search.

.ENGINEER

Whether you’re a civil engineer, aerospace engineer, or work in another engineering field, the .ENGINEER domain ending is a great tool for building your career. Whether you use your .ENGINEER URL to create an online portfolio or simply to forward to your LinkedIn account, this domain tells you audience exactly what you do.

.MARKETING

Marketers understand the importance of creating an online presence that is memorable and unique—which is why the .MARKETING domain is perfect for agencies or individuals to brand themselves with this domain. If your company ends in “Marketing,” this domain can also help you save character space in your URL (e.g. creative.marketing rather than creativemarketing.com)

.PLUMBING

When a plumbing disaster strikes, where’s the first place most people will turn to track down help? The internet. Using a .PLUMING domain for your website is a great way to integrate a powerful keyword into your URL.

.VET

Veterinarians can use the .VET domain for animal hospitals, veterinary clinics, education resources and more. Take for example, fox.vet, a website for a veterinary education app of the same name. These are also a great choice for soon-to-be graduates who want to use a personal website as part of their job-hunting efforts.

Why are these domain options important?

It has become increasingly more difficult over the past few years for individuals to register domain names that are short and relevant to what they do—many of the best keyword combinations using traditional domain extensions are already in use or being sold by domain investors for thousands of dollars. In fact, new research suggests that lack of quality keyword combinations in traditional domain endings can be stifling internet growth by as much as 25%.

Creating ultra-specific domain names gives those with niche jobs and interests a chance to get a quality domain name that they love without the outrageous price tag. After all, a vet is unlikely to register a .PLUMBING domain and likewise, a plumber unlikely to register a .DENTIST. New Domains offer the opportunity for more businesses and individuals to create a webspace that is unique and powerful.
