    About .flickr domain

    .flickr is a brand gTLD (generic top-level domain) operated by Yahoo! Domain Services, a subsidiary of Yahoo! Inc., and delegated to the root zone in 2016 as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program. The registry is a standard, non-community-based registry managed for the exclusive strategic and commercial benefit of the Flickr service. All domains within this extension remain the property of the registry operator, Yahoo! Domain Services.

Following approval, the domain is registered and remains the property of the registry operator.
