A short history
The Latin word casa meant a small dwelling or cottage, and its descendants became the everyday words for house in several languages across Europe and Latin America. Over time the word also turned up in the names of restaurants, guesthouses and family firms. The .casa extension is a generic ending, so it is not tied to any one country, and it has attracted businesses that want a short and friendly name.
Who runs it
The zone is run by a registry operator that publishes its registration terms and maintains the central database. Registrars sell names to customers and send the orders on. Because the ending is generic, the operator's acceptable use rules apply, and they may be updated, so read the terms that are current when you buy.
Rules in practice
- Open registration: generic zones are usually open to companies and individuals, subject to the operator's conditions.
- Property listings: estate agents often need licences and must describe homes accurately, so check the rules where you operate.
- Name rules: letters, digits and hyphens make up a label, which can reach 63 characters.
- Renewal: a short name attracts interest from others, so renew early, because a lapsed name can be taken quickly.
Who uses .casa
- Estate agents and letting firms that show houses and flats for sale or rent.
- Interior designers and furniture makers who present finished rooms and projects.
- Restaurants, cafes and guesthouses that want a homely feel for their guests.
- Family firms and craft workshops that want a warm address for a local business.
Strengths
- The word has a clear meaning in several large languages, which gives the address a homely character.
- The name is short and easy to say, which helps on a sign, a property board or a menu.
- It suits businesses that sell a sense of home as much as a product or a service.
Things to keep in mind
- Many visitors will not know the word unless they speak a Romance language, so add a short explanation on the home page if the meaning matters to you.
- Property sites should show who is responsible for each listing, with licence numbers where local law requires them.
- A restaurant with a common name may be confused with a chain, so make the location and opening hours easy to find.
- Visitors may still type a .com address first, so decide early whether you need both.
Tips before you register
- Check the name in .com and on the property portals or review sites where your business is listed.
- Use the trading name exactly as it appears on your licence or registration papers.
- Publish a complaints procedure, a privacy notice and the contact details of the person responsible.
- Set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC records before you send viewing confirmations from the domain.
- Turn on the renewal reminder, add a second contact to receive it and protect the login with two-factor authentication.
