.icu is a generic top-level domain, which belongs to the so-called new domain extensions, which ICANN published in 2011. The abbreviation can stand for "I see you" and can therefore be used for many purposes.
The basic idea of the domain extension revolves around seeing and being seen. Due to the global awareness of .icu, many basic marketing ideas can be implemented. Especially on social media channels and among young start-ups, the domain is extremely popular.
A big advantage of the domain is the efficiency with search engines. This makes it a good tool to generate traffic for your own webshop or similar. Also for associations and companies .icu is perfect. Explicitly with a well thought-out advertising campaign on social media, the use of this domain is a perfect help and guarantees an absolute attention for the own projects.
With this domain extension, the user clearly stands out from other standardized endings. It is versatile and can be used for many different purposes. The figures speak for themselves: in September there was a sharp increase in new domains with the extension .icu. In September alone, 600,000 new websites were registered with this extension.
