The key to building a successful tech business is a combination of two things: an extraordinary product, and excellent product-branding. It’s noteworthy that for any business, its domain name is one of the most essential elements of its overall branding and marketing. In fact, the domain name is often the foremost brand touchpoint for every enterprise. Owing to this, businesses and tech startups around the world have chosen to brand themselves innovatively by choosing .TECH domains.

Since the word ‘tech’ is easily understood and widely used by people within and outside the tech industry, having a .TECH domain makes it easy for businesses to effortlessly establish their brand positioning.

For example, the web address for tech startup ‘Peach Tech’ is www.peach.tech. It is a simple yet strong online identity for the business. Some of the funded startups that have chosen .TECH domains include:

  • TenX Pte Ltd, www.tenx.tech, raised $159.1M in funding
  • Aurora Innovation, Inc., www.aurora.tech, raised $90M in funding
  • Innoviz Technologies, www.innoviz.tech, raised $82M in funding
  • Navya, www.navya.tech, raised $40M in funding

Many celebrated businesses have chosen .TECH domains to make the most of the branding opportunity that this tech focused domain extension offers. Here are a few more incredible examples of business websites on .TECH domains:
