New Somers .gov Domain Name

December 17, 2024

The Town of Somers has changed its domain to somersny.gov!

During the transition, somersny.com emails will forward to somersny.gov addresses and the .com website will automatically direct users to the .gov website.

Registering as a .gov domain requires an entity to submit evidence to the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) that they are truly registering on behalf of legitimate local, county, or state governments. The new .gov domain also makes it more difficult for malicious actors and scammers to choose government websites. Using less secure domains such as .com allows cybercriminals and malicious actors to more easily impersonate government officials in attempts to defraud the public. Another benefit is it allows the Town to do business with our federal partners and be eligible for federal grants.
