.philips

Overview

• .philips is a brand generic top-level domain (gTLD) applied for and delegated under ICANN's New gTLD Program.
• The string represents the Philips brand and is intended to clearly identify the registry operator and the source/affiliation of content and services under the TLD.

History

• Application: Submitted as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program (reveal day referenced in application materials).
• Delegation: .philips was delegated to the DNS root zone on 09 May 2015.
• Registry and operations:
  • Registry owner/operator: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (Philips).
  • Registry service provider listed: ARI Registry Services.
• Name collision: In November 2013 ICANN determined .philips was not eligible for an alternative path for name-collision mitigation and therefore required further mitigation steps before proceeding toward delegation.

Usage and Audience

• Intended audience: Philips as the brand owner and entities affiliated with the Philips Group.
• Brand context: The applicant describes Philips as a global diversified company with operations in Healthcare, Lighting, and Consumer Lifestyle; .philips is positioned to consolidate brand reputation and provide an unambiguous namespace for Philips-related content and services.

SEO and Brand Impact
