.audio is a top-level domain (TLD) that was successfully delegated to the Root Zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) on May 15, 2014, by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The domain extension is operated by Uniregistry Corp., a registry company established by domain investor Frank Schilling. Uniregistry applied for 54 gTLDs in ICANN's New gTLD Program, and .audio was one of their successful applications. Previously, Donuts (Holly Castle, LLC), another applicant, had also expressed interest in the .audio domain. However, the two companies reached a private deal in February 2014, resolving their contention sets, with Uniregistry winning the right to operate .audio and Donuts receiving the rights to .furniture, .auction, and .gratis.
The acquisition of the .audio domain comes with some restrictions. The sale of this domain is subjected to ICANN's rules and regulations for gTLDs. Prospective buyers must comply with ICANN's requirements, including ensuring that their use of the domain does not infringe on any existing trademarks or intellectual property rights. Additionally, Uniregistry, as the registry operator, may have its own policies regarding the registration and use of domains under .audio. It is essential for potential buyers to review these policies carefully before making a purchase. Furthermore, the domain is subject to availability, meaning that if the desired name is already registered, it cannot be purchased by another party. There are currently 4,954 registrations under the .audio domain, with 2,876 of those being parked domains.
