    Generic top-level domainsIDNDNSSEC

    Overview

    .email is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) created through ICANN's New gTLD Program intended for email-related uses and identities. It is positioned as an open TLD to enable greater expression on the Internet for email services, personal email identities, and related projects.

    History

    • Proposed as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program (application revealed on 13 June 2012).
    • Registry operator and manager: Donuts (Spring Madison, LLC).
    • The registry infobox also lists Demand Media as a registry reference in the source.
    • Registry Agreement with ICANN signed on 31 October 2013.
    • Delegated to the DNS Root Zone on 2 January 2014.
    • Sunrise period was announced to run from 14 January 2014 to 15 March 2014.

    Usage and Audience

    • Typical users include email service providers, businesses offering branded email, privacy-focused email projects, and open-source/self-hosted mail server communities.
    • As of 30 June 2025, the .email TLD had 298,275 registered domains.

    Registration Rules

    • Described by the registry as an open TLD without pre-registration verification.
    • The registry stated an intent to adhere to all ICANN registration policies and to define remediation and takedown policies to meet those requirements.
    • The application noted that pre-registration verification would not be used, arguing it could deny domain access to legitimate registrants.
    • The operator plans to control abuse via "extensive user and rights protections."
