Overview

What is .clinic

The word clinic needs no translation, and the extension’s name sets its field: doctors’ and dentists’ clinics, physical therapy centers and any place where patients are treated. .clinic entered the internet’s root in 2014 as a new generic extension; it is run by Binky Moon, LLC and supports names in Arabic and DNSSEC signing.

Patients read .clinic as a statement of a medical profession: whoever holds the address is a doctor or a place of treatment. So it suits those who actually practice medicine or therapy, and misleads people if someone who doesn’t holds it, such as a supplement store, a health tips site or a page for care products.

We have a first-year offer, and renewal costs a little more, but it’s much more expensive than .com. Many people know it less well than .com, and your patients are mostly close to you, so register a name in .sy with it that says your clinic is here.

Who it suits

For your field: is .clinic the best fit?

Every field has an extension that says something about it. Here is what .clinic says in each, and which extension completes it.

  • A doctor’s clinic

    Excellent · The first choice

    It tells patients from the address that they’re at a doctor’s, and .sy completes it for anyone looking for a nearby clinic.

    Register it with.clinic.sy

  • A physical therapy center

    Good · A good fit

    It says you’re a place of treatment, and .com.sy says you work here.

    Register it with.clinic.com.sy

  • A veterinary clinic

    Good · A good fit

    It says you’re a clinic, and its name before the extension says your patients are animals.

    Register it with.clinic.com

  • A hospital or medical complex

    Good · A good fit

    For a place with many departments .healthcare is broader, and .clinic serves its outpatient clinics.

    Register it with.healthcare.clinic

  • A supplement store

    Consider another · Consider .store

    A clinic promises a doctor the store doesn’t provide; a trade extension is more honest with your customer.

    Register it with.store.com

  • A health tips blog

    Consider another · Consider .blog

    Visitors take it for a clinic that treats, while you write; .blog or .life is clearer.

    Register it with.blog.life

What it does for you

What you gain when you register it

  • Your profession in the address

    Patients know from the link they’re at a place of treatment, before reading the doctor’s name.

  • Appointments a link away

    A short address patients send their family so they know the clinic’s hours and location.

  • Email that presents your clinic

    info@iyadat-yabroud.clinic tells whoever receives it that the message comes from a clinic.

  • Names still free

    Short words taken in .com long ago you may find free here.

And where its value shows

Under the doctor’s name and specialty.

On the prescription

The clinic’s address in every patient’s hand.

In appointment messages

Their source known before they’re opened.

Tips

Before you register

  1. 1The doctor’s name or the specialtyPatients search by their doctor’s name or by what ails them, so put one of them before the extension.
  2. 2The address on prescriptions and appointmentsPrint it on prescriptions and appointment cards, so patients come back to it when they need you.
  3. 3A short name, read as it’s writtenIf it needs spelling out on the phone, it’s too long or too complicated.
  4. 4No digits or hyphens that need explainingEvery hyphen or digit has to be said, and what has to be said gets forgotten.
  5. 5Renew automatically, or register for yearsUp to 10 years at once, so you never miss a date.
