The domain extension .LIGHTING is a specialized top-level domain (TLD) that is primarily associated with entities, businesses, or individuals involved in the lighting industry.
It serves as a digital marker for websites, email addresses, and online platforms dedicated to various aspects of lighting, including but not limited to lighting design, fixtures, technologies, trends, and services.
This TLD provides a succinct and memorable way for businesses and enthusiasts within the lighting sector to establish their online presence and connect with their target audience effectively.
The history of the .LIGHTING domain's origins
The .LIGHTING domain extension was introduced as part of ICANN's (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) new generic top-level domain (gTLD) program.
The program aimed to diversify the pool of available domain extensions beyond the traditional .com, .org, .net, etc.
The .LIGHTING TLD was delegated to the Domain Name System (DNS) root zone in 2014, becoming available for registration shortly afterward.
Its introduction aimed to cater specifically to the needs of businesses, professionals, and enthusiasts within the lighting industry, offering them a distinct and relevant online identity.
