.sbs

.sbs is a generic top-level domain currently operated by ShortDot. It has an unusual history: IANA records show that the extension was originally delegated to Special Broadcasting Service Corporation and was transferred to ShortDot in 2024. The current registry markets SBS as “Side by Side,” emphasizing collaboration, inclusion and community.

That positioning makes .sbs a possible fit for nonprofits, social initiatives, community projects, associations, teams and organizations that want to communicate working together. Because SBS is also a common three-letter acronym, it can be used more abstractly when those letters already have meaning for a brand or project.

The acronym flexibility means context matters. Visitors will not always interpret SBS as “Side by Side,” and some audiences may associate the initials with an existing organization or another phrase. The full domain should therefore make the intended meaning clear and avoid creating trademark or identity confusion.

ShortDot states that anyone can register a .sbs domain and that there are no special eligibility requirements. Premium names also exist, so a desirable word or short label can have different availability or terms from standard inventory.
