What is a .to domain?
The .to domain name extension is a top-level domain that was originally intended as a country code domain for the island of Tonga. It has been managed by Tonic (the Tonga Network Information Center) since the late 1990s.
Since then, the .to domain is also widely used by businesses located in places like Toronto. Why? Because T.O. is the city’s nickname. It’s also often used as a stand-in for "to". Registering a .to domain is easy. Just search for your domain name via IONOS. If your name is still available, follow the steps to check out. You'll need to register your domain for at least two years.
Which purposes are .to domains suitable for?
When you buy a top-level domain such as .to you can rest assured that you’ll be getting a unique name that will help you stand out from the competition.
There are some businesses where a .to domain might be better suited than others. While .to was originally intended to designate Tonga, it’s also a great choice for Toronto-based companies or individuals. For instance, a restaurant called "Contemporary Cuisine" based in Toronto could register "contemporarycuisine.to". Using a .to domain in this way allows customers to immediately connect the nature of the business to its location. Visitors looking for a local restaurant will instantly know that the restaurant is in Toronto, increasing the likelihood of a visit.
A .to domain is a good choice for anyone looking for a snappy, fun domain extension that's instantly brandable.
