    About .goldpoint domain

    .goldpoint is a brand gTLD, a closed generic top-level domain operated exclusively by YODOBASHI CAMERA CO.,LTD. through its registry, Verisign. It was delegated to the root zone on 19 February 2015 as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program. The extension was established to serve as a controlled, authoritative namespace for the registry's loyalty program, ensuring brand authenticity and trust online.

    Who can register .goldpoint domain

    Registration under the .goldpoint TLD is strictly restricted. The registry, YODOBASHI CAMERA CO.,LTD., initially reserves all second-level domains for its own use to support its GoldPoint loyalty program. The registry's application indicated it may, at a later date, offer registrations to selected partner companies that pass an internal evaluation process to ensure alignment with its brand strategy. There is no public, open registration for this extension.

    How to register .goldpoint domain

    .goldpoint is a closed, brand-restricted TLD and is not available for public registration through commercial registrars. Domain names are allocated internally by the registry operator, YODOBASHI CAMERA CO.,LTD., for its own use and potentially for approved affiliates. The allocation process is governed by the registry's internal business and brand strategy, as outlined in its ICANN application. There is no standard checkout or purchase process for external entities.

    Typical uses of .goldpoint domain

It provides a trusted and authentic online space for information, services, and resources related to the program for its over 20 million members. The TLD is chosen to promote brand identity, assure customers of legitimacy, and facilitate secure interactions around point accumulation and redemption, differentiating it from open, generic extensions.

    Frequently asked questions about .goldpoint domain

    Who can register a .goldpoint domain?

    Registration is not open to the public. The TLD is a closed brand extension operated solely by YODOBASHI CAMERA CO.,LTD. for its GoldPoint program. The registry may, in the future, allow select partner companies to register domains, but this would require a rigorous internal approval process to ensure alignment with the brand's strategic goals.

    Can I transfer a .goldpoint domain between registrars?

    As a closed brand TLD with no public registrations, the standard inter-registrar transfer process does not apply. Any management or reassignment of domain names within the .goldpoint namespace is handled internally by the registry operator according to its own policies and the terms of its ICANN registry agreement.

    Can I buy a .goldpoint domain from a domain registrar?

    No, you cannot purchase a .goldpoint domain from any commercial registrar. It is not a product offered on the open market. The namespace is controlled entirely by the brand owner, YODOBASHI CAMERA CO.,LTD., which uses domains internally for its loyalty program operations and related initiatives.

    What dispute policies apply to .goldpoint domains?

    Given the closed nature of the TLD, standard public dispute policies like the UDRP are largely theoretical, as the registry controls all registrations. Any internal disputes or challenges would be resolved according to the registry's own policies and procedures, as established in its ICANN registry agreement and its operational framework.

    Will .goldpoint ever become available for public registration?

    Based on the registry's original application, it is highly unlikely. The application clearly frames .goldpoint as a restricted registry to promote its brand identity and authenticity. While it mentioned a possibility of offering names to partners, this is framed as a limited extension to affiliates, not a transition to an open, public registration model.
