Write like everyone’s reading with a .blog domain extension

The .blog TLD (top-level domain) is a common domain name extension among bloggers. It’s used by websites with dedicated blogs as a quick and intuitive way to let website visitors know what to expect. Recently, it has become a more common business practice to use blogging to retain new customers through content marketing. While personal blogs have declined since the 2000s, business blogs are growing and driving a resurgence in the .blog domain name.

To buy and register a blog domain name for your website with Hostinger, make sure any domains you want are available by performing a domain name search. Once you’ve decided, click ‘add to cart’ and checkout to get our best price.

Google gives the same amount of weight to every extension. There is no SEO ranking difference between .com, .blog, or .xyz. Opting for a .blog domain name isn’t a ranking factor. Improving SEO relies on multiple factors like site quality, authority, and linking. That said, choosing .blog might help users to identify your blog among the search results.

No, not necessarily. For example, WordPress is the world’s most popular platform for blogs, but the most popular WordPress extension is still .com. While not necessary, users first starting out can use the .blog extension to immediately clarify a site’s purpose.
