.cam is a newly delegated generic top level domain (gTLD) in the ICANN New gTLD Program, with the status of "Delegated" and managed by CAM Connecting SarL since February 9th, 2021. The registry provider for this domain is CentralNic. The name .cam is derived from the abbreviation for "computer graphics and animation," making it an ideal choice for technology-related websites. The domain has seen significant growth since its general availability on December 14th, 2016, with over 46,000 registrations as of now. Some popular examples of .cam websites include Davos Klosters Resort Webcams and DEVISUBOX, European leader for jobsite supervision.
The acquisition or ownership of the .cam domain is subject to certain restrictions. Initially, there were three applicants for this gTLD - Demand Media, Famous Four Media, and AC Webconnecting Holding B.V. However, following a string confusion objection from Verisign, Demand Media was the only applicant that remained after an auction process. The history of .cam's application process involved several challenges, including objections from Verisign based on potential confusion with the popular .com domain. As of now, there are no known restrictions for individuals or organizations looking to register a .cam domain, provided they meet the standard registration requirements set by ICANN and CentralNic. However, it is essential to check the availability of your desired domain name and ensure that it does not infringe on any existing trademarks or intellectual property rights.
