.homes is a top-level domain (TLD) that was successfully delegated to the Root Zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) on May 22, 2014, by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The registry operator for this gTLD is Dominion Enterprises (DERHomes, LLC), a leading marketing services company specializing in various industries including real estate. With over 3,000 employees and operations in multiple countries, Dominion Enterprises manages several real estate-related businesses such as Homes.com®, Homes Connect™ by Homes.com, and Homes.com Mobile. The .homes domain is intended to provide a trusted, hierarchical, and intuitive namespace for consumers to easily navigate the online real estate market.
The business model for the .homes gTLD includes two stages. In the first stage, generic strings (e.g., "Cape Cod," "Ranch," "Victorian") and geographic domain names are reserved or allocated to Dominion's online real estate properties. This initial allocation provides a framework for consumers and ensures secure access using .homes gTLD domain names. Following this, Dominion's existing clients across various real estate property groups will be permitted to register domain names. Paragraph 3: The second stage of the business model involves evaluating a validation process to allow non-Dominion clients and other registrants to register .homes domain names. However, the exact timing for this expansion has not been determined and will depend on the implementation of appropriate verification mechanisms. The .homes gTLD aims to create a safe and trusted online environment for real estate transactions.
