FASB ASU 2025-06 - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) 25-17F-J: Website costs: hosting, content, graphics, search registration and domain names

What does 25-17F-J require?

Website hosting fees paid periodically to a service provider are generally expensed over the period of benefit. Costs of inputting content (text and graphics such as articles, product photos, maps or stock data) are expensed as incurred, whether the content sits in databases or is coded into pages. Initial graphics, meaning the overall page design elements such as borders, colours, fonts, frames and buttons that persist across content changes, are software and are evaluated for capitalisation under 350-40. Registering the site with search engines is advertising, expensed as incurred under 720-35-25-1. Costs to obtain and register a domain name are evaluated for capitalisation under 350-30-25.
