.world is a generic top-level domain that can be registered freely for any purpose. As ‘world’ means ‘world’ in English, the extension itself indicates that the website is aimed at an international audience.

It is well suited to travel and tourism websites, international companies and organisations, cultural and educational projects, as well as brands that wish to showcase their own ‘world’. As it is a newer extension, there are still many short, evocative names available under it.
