.health — should you use it?
Generic TLD · introduced 2017
The short answer
Premium-priced category signal for health brands; credibility still lives in your compliance posture, not the TLD.Why it works
- Clear category
- Cleaner neighborhood than cheap TLDs (price filters spam)
Why it might not
- Expensive
- No actual vetting — patients don't know that
The longer take
The high price keeps junk out, which quietly makes .health domains look more legitimate. For consumer health products it's a reasonable premium; for anything clinical, your certifications matter infinitely more.
