In 2013, registrar and administrator Afillias launched a number of new generic top-level domains. One of these domains was .onl, a domain that is said to be perfect for starting businesses and building communities.
The abbreviation .onl is intended to signal that the user or the Internet presence is thus available online. This signal effect can be used for many purposes. This domain is preferred by users who want to start a new business or people who want to build a forum or discussion board.
Another practical benefit that results from the domain is that products that already exist physically but are now also available online can be marketed very well. The abbreviation .onl signals to the visitor of the website that the physical product is now available online.
So the purposes of this domain cover a wide spectrum. It refers to almost everything that happens in the online world. Explicitly for digital communication, the domain is also well suited. Anyone who wants to communicate with other people via forums or chats will recognize from the corresponding domain extension .onl that there is activity here.
The domain is worldwide on the same country and can be used independently of the country. This is another advantage of this flexible domain.
