Mike Purdy's Public Contracting Blog: New Internet Domain Name Extension for Construction Industry

New Internet Domain Name Extension for Construction Industry

Effective March 17, 2014, contractors, designers, and others in the construction industry will be able to use the newly created website domain extension of dot "build" that will join the list of commonly used extensions such as com, net, and org. GoDaddy.com, a registrar of domain names has opened up a pre-registration process for obtaining the dot "build" extensions.

Competition for new domain names: There is likely to be intense competition for this new digital real estate as companies in the construction industry brand their business with a domain name that corresponds more to the name of the business. Increasingly, it is becoming more and more challenging to buy dot com domain names that fit the business and are easy to remember. The opening of dot "build" and other specialty domain names will expand the landscape of available and relevant domain names.

About Mike Purdy

For more than 40 years, I served as a contracting manager for major public agencies in Washington State (City of Seattle, Seattle Housing Authority, and University of Washington), and as an independent consultant providing consulting and training to more than 100 public agencies, industry associations, and businesses across the country on the managing the complex world of public procurement and contracting. In March 2015, I discontinued regular postings to Mike Purdy’s Public Contracting Blog to focus on speaking and writing about U.S. presidential history. My book, "101 Presidential Insults: What They Really Thought About Each Other - and What It Means to Us" was published in June 2019. In August 2022, my second book on the presidents was published. It's entitled "Presidential Friendships: How They Changed History." Please visit www.PresidentialHistory.com where you can sign up for a free email subscription to my Presidential History Blog. I am now entering into a new season of life managing my health as I deal with a lethal and incurable cancer (metastatic prostate cancer). I have written a candid and vulnerable memoir about my wild medical adventure titled “Reflections of an Uncertain Journey.” All my books are available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, other online outlets, and in local bookstores.
