Generic top-level domainsIDNDNSSEC
Overview
.онлайн is an internationalized gTLD (IDN) representing the Cyrillic word for “online.” Its ASCII (Punycode) form is .xn--80asehdb. The string was applied for under ICANN's New gTLD Program and is intended for registrants and users who write in the Cyrillic alphabet.
History
- Applicant and Registry Operator: CORE (applied for three TLDs, all IDNs).
- New gTLD Program: Proposed and applied-for during ICANN's New gTLD Program.
- Registry Agreement: A registry agreement with ICANN was signed by CORE on 14 July 2013; it was one of the first four contracts signed under the program.
- Delegation: The string was delegated to the DNS Root Zone in October 2013 (sources list 22–23 October 2013), making it one of the first four new gTLD strings delegated as part of the program.
- PIC: The registry lists a Public Interest Commitment (PIC).
Usage and Audience
- Target audience: Internet users and registrants who use the Cyrillic alphabet.
- Geographic/linguistic focus: Intended for users in countries and communities that write in Cyrillic, explicitly mentioning Belarus, Bulgaria, Russia and Ukraine, and recognizable to neighboring Balkan and Baltic populations familiar with Cyrillic-script languages.
- Purpose: To provide a widely used TLD option oriented toward Cyrillic-script registrants and users seeking a domain that reads naturally in their native script.
Registration Rules
- Script restrictions: Registrations under .онлайн are available for Cyrillic strings only, according to the registry's IDN table.
- Use restrictions: Registrations are subject to bona-fide use of the .онлайн TLD. The registrant's use of the domain must be generally accepted as legitimate and commensurate with the role and importance of the registered domain name.
- Additional rules: The registry referenced IDN tables and application-specific rules (e.g., Q44 in the application) for permitted characters and exact registration details.
Notable Dates and Launch Phases
- Sunrise period: Announced to begin on 16 January 2014 and end on 18 March 2014.
