.FUN Domain Extension

Why choose a .FUN domain?

Almost every extension names a thing: a trade, an object, a place. This one names a reaction. Nothing is fun in itself. A show, a game, an evening only becomes fun if somebody laughs — and the audience decides that, never the poster. Choosing this word therefore promises a feeling rather than describing a product. It is a strong promise, and it cuts both ways: if the experience does not follow, the name turns against you.

A reaction, not a thing

The word describes what the audience feels, not what you sell. That is what makes it memorable — and demanding.

The event

Festivals, street parties, company nights out, birthdays. Dates, tickets, a site map, the wet-weather plan: what people look up the night before.

The venue

Arcade, mini-golf, indoor playground, climbing centre. Hours, prices, minimum age, group bookings.

Activities

Games, workshops, day camps, birthday hosting. Say what is included and what is not: it is the first question asked.

The other edge

A name promising enjoyment is judged on the real experience. Keep it for what delivers, not for a serious service in costume.

What it actually changes

• It names a feeling, not a product. Rare in the root zone, where nearly everything names a trade or an object.
• Three letters, identical in French. The word passed into everyday local use unchanged.
• Delegated in November 2016. One of the latest in the catalogue, so still relatively open.
• No registration restrictions. No leisure business to demonstrate to the registrar.
