Overview

You've probably heard about bots a lot lately, how they are here to make our lives easier and replace apps. So what is a 'bot' exactly? Imagine texting a number to order pizza and having it delivered without ever talking to a real human -- that's what bots are all about. Specifically, a bot is an application that performs an automated task, such as setting an alarm, telling you the weather, or searching online. Siri and Cortana are bots. Many bots are programmed to act like humans when you talk to them so it feels like asking a person for help instead of just typing in a search engine. So, the new .bot domain extenstion is prefect for businesses who develope, manage, or offer bots as a service/product.

The goal of the new .bot gTLD is to provide a new/better way for businesses to make their websites and services easily identifiable to their consumers and clients--and to bolster consumer confidence in their brand--whether you're in the adult space or wanting to protect your brand in that space. Registering a .bot domain name for yourself or your brand will capture more viewers, customers, and prospects, letting them know exactly who you are and just how passionate you are about what you do. And it will also help boost advertizing and help you promote your business (or yourself) more effectively online, increasing search rankings for your business.
