The registry writes about the help-Domain:
"We can all use a helping hand every once in a while. The Internet is the go-to source whenever a question arises. Whether operating a new tool, navigating a software application, or dealing with life’s challenges, finding a reliable source for assistance can make all the difference. .help is the Internet’s support network."
Help-Domains can be helpful at many occasions and for many institutions:
- Charities
- Counseling services
- Customer support
- Directories
- Educators & mentors
- Healthcare providers
The relationship between a better ranking in search engines and new top-level domains has already been proven in a study of Searchmetrics for .berlin domains. Websites with .berlin domains often rank better with regional searches in Google than sites with .de domains and .com domains.
»In 42% of searches, .berlin domains rank better locally.«
Another study by Total Websites in Houston shows that the results of the Searchmetrics study are in principle applicable to all new TLDs, including e.g. the Help-Domain. Total Websites notes that Google sees the domain extensions of new TLDs as an important criterion for the evaluation of a domain and, therefore, concludes that:
»It's clear that the new top-level domains improve the ranking in search engines.«
