.foo is a generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) that was proposed in ICANN's New gTLD Program and delegated to the Root Zone on April 19, 2014. The registry operator for .foo is Google, through its subsidiary Charleston Road Registry Inc. The mission of this gTLD is to provide a dedicated domain space for registrants involved in web development or serving as a repository for prototyping and beta sites. With no restrictions on second-level domain name registrations, .foo aims to offer new opportunities for organization on the Internet and enhance consumer choice.
There are no restrictions on owning this domain. In line with its commitment to encouraging innovation, competition, and choice on the Internet, Charleston Road Registry, the operator of .foo, intends to keep the gTLD totally open and unencumbered by registrant restrictions. This means that all ICANN-accredited registrars have access to registry services, including the shared registration system, and domain names within .foo are available to the general public for registration and use. Additionally, Charleston Road Registry is dedicated to implementing strong intellectual property rights protection mechanisms to foster model Internet citizenship and Internet development, especially in emerging regions.
