Information

The .airforce top-level domain (TLD) is a generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) that was delegated to the Root Zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) on April 30, 2014. The applicant and current registry operator is Rightside/Demand Media (United TLD Holdco Ltd.). This domain was created to serve as an easily recognized and accessible namespace for air force veterans, active duty personnel, family members, supportive organizations, and civilians. The mission of the .airforce TLD is to increase choice, expression, affinity, and relevance for these groups on the web.

Restrictions

Despite its noble intentions, the registration of the .airforce domain has been met with controversy due to its similarity to official government agencies. The application received three GAC Early Warnings from the United States, Australia, and India, which strongly recommended that Demand Media withdraw the application due to potential confusion and negative impact on national armed forces services. However, United TLD Holdco Ltd. has stated that they will be inclusive in their registration policies and provide registration services to all legitimate registrants. There are currently 866 registrations for this domain with 51.85% of them parked. It is important to note that while there are no known restrictions on owning a .airforce domain at this time, potential registrants should be aware of the controversy surrounding its registration and ensure they are not infringing on any trademarks or official government agency names.
