The .cooking top-level domain (TLD) is a new generic domain targeted towards the culinary industry, including chefs, cooks, restaurants, food-focused e-commerce platforms, kitchen appliance brands, and other related businesses. Delegated to the Root Zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) on March 31, 2014, .cooking is one of the many new gTLDs that have emerged from ICANN's New gTLD Program. MMX, also known as Minds + Machines, was the sole applicant for this TLD and successfully obtained delegation after passing the Initial Evaluation in November 2013.
There are no specific restrictions on owning a .cooking domain. The registration policies aim to encourage as many registrants as possible to affiliate themselves with cooking for any legal purpose. Registrants of a .cooking domain name will self-select due to their interest in cooking, reducing the number of potential registrants. However, businesses and charitable organizations that would find a .cooking top-level domain an effective marketing tool would not be excluded from registering a .cooking domain name as they might not be eligible for membership in an organization that accepts only natural persons for membership. Registrant privacy and confidential information will be protected in accordance with all applicable ICANN rules and laws.
