About .act

The .act domain extension stands for taking action and for performing a role on stage or screen. The word is short and familiar, so it suits advocacy groups, civic organizations and performing arts talent.

Many sites under this name could be built around a call to join in. Campaigns, nonprofits and civic groups can use it to point supporters toward joining, voting or contributing. Names such as join.act or vote.act show the kind of prompt it can carry.

If you run a theater, drama school, casting studio or production company, this name fits your work too. Individual actors can use name.act as a personal address. Because the word is a top-level domain people can read as a verb, a name like stage.act tells visitors what to expect before the page loads.
