About .gea domain
.gea is a brand gTLD operated by GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft, with back-end registry services provided by Afilias. It was delegated to the root zone on 28 August 2015 as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program. The extension was established exclusively for use by the GEA corporate group and its affiliated entities. It operates as a closed registry, meaning registration is not available to the general public.
Who can register .gea domain
Registration for .gea domains is strictly restricted. The sole eligible registrant is GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft itself. Community members, defined as the GEA Group and its globally affiliated companies that are either fully owned or majority-owned (at least 50.1% shares) by GEA, are the intended users. No external individuals, organizations, or third parties can register a .gea domain name.
How to register .gea domain
This TLD is not allocated through commercial registrars or a public registration process. Domain names within .gea are allocated internally by the registry operator, GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft. The company manages all aspects of delegation and use for its corporate group and qualified affiliates. Requests for domains are handled through the organization's internal governance and IT processes, not via public registration or checkout.
Typical uses of .gea domain
The .gea extension is used exclusively by GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft and its affiliated companies for their online presence. As a high-tech system provider for food and energy processes, the group uses these domains to brand its digital assets, such as corporate websites, intranets, and services, under a unified and secure namespace. This choice reinforces corporate identity and ensures that all .gea domains are directly associated with the GEA organization, providing trust and authenticity for customers and partners interacting with the GEA group online.
