.SINGLES Domain Extension

Why choose a .SINGLES domain?

The difference from .dating is clean: this one names people, the other names an undertaking. And it has a feature no other word in the group shares: it describes a state its members hope to leave. That changes the tone required. Single people are not necessarily searching — many are looking first for activities, for travel, for company, and not necessarily for a partner.

The person, not the pursuit

The word names an audience, which opens far wider than a dating service. You can address single people without selling them a partner.

Things to do

Evenings, supper clubs, classes, walks, workshops. Many people come mainly to get out of the house, and that is a market in itself.

The interest group

By age, by area, by interest, by circumstance. A group of over-fifties has nothing in common with a group of students.

Travelling alone

Organised groups, no single supplement, escorted departures. The single supplement is the first question asked, and often the only obstacle.

Housing for one

Studios, house shares, one-bedroom flats. A real housing market, poorly served, that the word names naturally.

What it actually changes

• It names an audience, not a service. That is what separates it from .dating: you can address single people without being a dating site.
• The plural implies a group, not a search. Useful for anyone organising things rather than matching people.
• No registration restrictions. No marital status to verify with the registrar.
• It works as an email address too. events@northbank.singles announces outings rather than matchmaking.
