gives-domain

Loosely translated, the domain extension .gives means "to give". And "give" is a term that can be equated with charity and generosity and with charity. This top-level domain was set up for the presentation of charitable causes on the WWW. That is, it can be used to advertise charity events, benefit events and fundraising, crowdfunding and similar events. Furthermore, charities and care institutions can also find a virtual home on a .gives domain.

Allocation

The top-level domain .gives is managed by Rightside Registry, which is based in Kirkland, Washington State, USA. The company also manages other domain extensions in addition to this domain extension. Anyone can register a domain with .gives who can prove that their website serves or describes a charitable purpose. As far as the choice of domain names is concerned, there is freedom of choice. In the end, especially a charity can benefit from it, which already exists under another domain extension with another operator of the website.

Use and meaning

The term "giving" is considered around the world to be synonymous with charity and that this is something where another person or group of people benefit from a charitable cause. While the importance of this domain extension is not quite as great worldwide, it is ultimately significant if this website is really meant to achieve that it is something that is actually meant to be charitable. The use of this domain extension is very high especially in cases where it is a desired domain name that is already taken for the actual desired domain extension. This means that this domain extension can ultimately be the last resort to still be present under the desired domain name, albeit with a different domain extension and to be able to do a lot of charity, because through this domain the organization or the event, on which as many donations as possible are to be collected, becomes known.
