The .llc domain extension is a top-level domain (TLD) that’s specifically designed for Limited Liability Companies (LLCs). It serves as a unique identifier for businesses structured as LLCs on the internet.

.llc is an important extension because it helps businesses establish a distinct web address for their website, signaling to users and search engines that the website belongs to a limited liability company. This can enhance credibility and trust, especially in the business and professional sectors.

The .llc domain extension was established in 2018, catering to the growing need for specialized TLDs that reflect the legal structure of businesses. Many unique top-level domains have been introduced in recent years, in response to the huge numbers of websites on the internet and growing demand for domain names. Website owners need more options beyond the very popular and competitive .com, .org and .net options, with .llc introduced to as an option to LLCs with a specific and relevant online identity.

The domain extension was initially managed by Afilias, which was merged into Identity Digital.
