.TEAM Domain Extension

Why choose a .TEAM domain?

The word comes from sport, but it stopped living there a long time ago. People now speak of a sales team, a project team, a care team — and that is the dominant use. What unites every sense is something precise: a team has a shared objective and distinct roles. It is neither a group nor a community: it is a set of people who depend on each other to accomplish something.

The workplace team

Who does what, how work is divided, how decisions are made. The dominant use of the word today, well ahead of sport.

The sports team

Squad, statistics, fixtures, results, photographs from the season. A team site is mostly read by the players’ families.

The schedule

Training, matches, away travel, lift-sharing. Logistics are the site’s real function, not presentation.

Sponsors

Who supports the team, at what level, what they get in return. A well-made thank-you page renews sponsorship on its own.

Recruiting

Open positions, trials, what is expected of somebody new. In both senses of the word, a team is always looking for somebody.

What it actually changes

• It implies a shared objective. That is what separates it from .group, which needs only a name, and .community, where people share without depending on each other.
• It serves sport and work alike. Two equally legitimate uses, with no confusion for the visitor.
• No registration restrictions. No affiliation or member count to demonstrate to the registrar.
• It works as an email address too. hello@theeagles.team reaches players, parents and sponsors in one place.
