Overview
- .estate is an active generic top-level domain (gTLD) applied for through ICANN's New gTLD Program.
- The application defined the string as a means to provide greater expression on the Internet and intended it to be an open TLD without pre-registration policies.
- Category: Commerce.
History
- Donuts (Trixy Park, LLC) was identified in the application as the registry and sole applicant for the string.
- A Registry Agreement with ICANN was signed on 27 August 2013 after the application passed Initial Evaluation.
- .estate was delegated to the DNS Root Zone on 14 November 2013, completing delegation into the root.
- The registry announced a Sunrise period running from 3 December 2013 to 31 January 2014.
Usage and Audience
- The TLD was presented as an open gTLD intended to provide greater expressive space on the Internet.
- Categorized under Commerce, the registry planned the string to be broadly available rather than restricted by pre-registration checks.
Registration Rules
- The applicant stated the TLD would be open and would not use pre-registration verification, asserting such verification could deny legitimate registrants access.
- The registry committed to adhere to ICANN registration policies and to define remediation and takedown procedures to meet requirements.
- Abuse mitigation was planned through "extensive user and rights protections."
- Sunrise period: 03 December 2013 – 31 January 2014.
