Neil LimWith the growing need for sustainability and protecting our environment, the word “eco” has come to represent environmentally friendly initiatives and/or products. You also see new professional designations and businesses adopting “eco” as part of their operations and branding.
To support the growth of environmentally friendly initiatives, the new .ECO domain extension is being launched and is coming out soon. The .ECO domain is perfect for any business, non-profit organization, individual or community dedicated to creating a sustainable environment.
The .ECO gTLD
If you are a business, the .ECO domain will be a perfect way to show your customers that you provide eco-friendly products or services. You can also use the .eco domain to show visitors to your website that you support sustainability practices and your dedication to the environment.
For industry professionals that have gained environmental sustainability certification, .ECO domains can help you promote your skills and expertise to organizations. Professional with LEED (architects) or SIP (investment professionals) designations can use .ECO domains to show current and potential clients that you support the environment and that you can provide sustainable environmental solutions.
Registration of .ECO domains will also help non-profit organizations boost awareness about the environment. Since “eco” is synonymous with the environment, a domain under the .ECO gTLD informs visitors what your website is all about. Non-profit organizations can also use the .ECO domain for any fundraising initiatives, sharing of important reports, scientific research and other functions that promote awareness about environmental sustainability and protection.
