life-domain

.life is one of the generic top-level domains. For this reason, the websites that use this extension differ greatly from each other. The focus is on websites that deal with lifestyle topics.

Although .life is a generic top-level domain, it is intended for a specific set of topics - similar to .work or .news. The top-level domain .life can be used to identify lifestyle blogs, websites and online magazines, for example.

This range of topics includes, for example, websites about nutrition, living styles, clothing and hobbies. The domain extension could also be suitable for psychological, sociological and related topics under certain circumstances. However, the domain extension is sometimes used by websites that are not directly related to lifestyle topics and interpret the top-level domain differently.

The top-level domain .life has existed since 15 May 2014 and can be used by website operators since 17 September 2014. This makes the extension for lifestyle websites one of the new top-level domains. They were introduced to cope with the increasing number of websites. Because the more domains are taken, the more difficult it becomes for new website founders to still find a meaningful and catchy domain.

The new top-level domains have somewhat equalized the competition for good domains. More than 200,000 websites already use the domain extension for lifestyle websites. The top-level domain is managed by the US company Donuts Inc. This company was founded in 2010 and unites numerous other top-level domains under its umbrella.
