Spa-Domains are suitable for all websites that deal with therapeutic baths, health resorts, cures or wellness. On the internet you can read the following about spa: "But what does spa actually mean? The word spa originally comes from Latin and is the abbreviation for" sanus per aquam ", which translates as: healthy through water. However, it is controversial whether the term spa used in German-speaking countries is also derived from it for wellness facilities. "

We find something special here: Standard Spa-Domains at the landrush period cost 149 US-Dollar/year. Renewing a Landrush Standard Domain costs 59 US-Dollar/year. This is also the price for registering a Spa-Domain at the General Availabiity.
