$(-6, +\infty)$.
RECALL: The domain of the logarithmic function $f(x) = \log_a{x}$ is $x \gt 0$. Thus, the domain of the given function is the set of all real numbers such that: $x+6 \gt 0$. Solve the inequality to obtain: $x + 6 \gt 0 \\x \gt 0-6 \\x \gt -6$ Therefore, the domain of the given function is $(-6, +\infty)$.
