What does a .pub domain mean?
A .pub domain is commonly used for pubs, bars, and public-facing venues. It can also fit projects that want a short, memorable name tied to “public” or publication.
Is a .pub domain trusted?
Yes. .pub is a valid top-level domain with an official registry, so it works normally in browsers, email, and search engines. Trust depends more on the website itself than on the extension.
