    Generic top-level domainsIDNDNSSEC

    Overview

    .company is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) introduced through ICANN's New gTLD Program. The string was proposed as an open, commerce-oriented namespace intended to provide greater expression on the Internet for businesses and commercial entities.

    History

    • Registry manager and applicant: Donuts (Silver Avenue, LLC) was identified as the registry manager and the sole applicant for the .company string.
    • Registry agreement: ICANN signed a Registry Agreement for .company on 7 November 2013 with the successful applicant/registry operator.
    • Delegation: .company was delegated to the DNS Root Zone on 17 December 2013, completing its successful application and delegation.
    • Sunrise period: The registry announced a Sunrise period beginning 31 December 2013 and ending 8 March 2014.

    Application details

    • Donuts' application used a boilerplate approach describing .company as an open gTLD to provide greater expression online.
    • The application stated intent to adhere to ICANN registration policies and to define remediation and takedown policies consistent with those requirements.

    Usage and Audience

    • Target audience: businesses, companies, and commercial entities seeking a clear, company-branded namespace.
    • Positioning: promoted as an open gTLD to permit broad registrations rather than a restricted or community-limited space.

    Registration Rules

    • Open registration model: The application describes .company as an open TLD without pre-registration restriction policies.
    • Pre-registration verification: The registry indicated it would not use pre-registration verification, citing concerns that such verification could deny legitimate registrants access.
    • Abuse mitigation: The registry planned to control abuse through "extensive user and rights protections," and to implement remediation and takedown policies to comply with ICANN requirements.
    • Sunrise: A Sunrise period was scheduled (31 December 2013 — 8 March 2014) to allow trademark holders priority registration prior to general availability.
