    About .netflix domain

    .netflix is a brand gTLD (generic top-level domain) proposed by Netflix, Inc. as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program. The application was submitted in 2012, and the extension is intended to be a closed, single-registrant namespace. As a brand TLD, its primary purpose is to serve as a secure and controlled digital asset for the registry operator.
