.istanbul is a geographical Top-Level Domain (TLD) that represents the city of Istanbul, Turkey. Delegated to the Root Zone by ICANN in July 2015, this TLD is managed by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and registry provider Afilias Registry: Istanbul Dijital Medya Tic. A.S. The .istanbul domain was proposed as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program with a mission to encourage innovation, improve services, assist residents in locating city government services, help local businesses thrive, market and promote tourism, and spread the dynamic image and brand value of Istanbul around the world.
There are no restrictions on owning or registering a domain under the .istanbul TLD. The proposed TLDs serve businesses and individuals from all countries and classes, allowing them to establish an international-regional web presence and reduce the need to register multiple domain names in other TLD spaces. Registrants may focus their resources on expanding their offerings and content as well as their brand identity. Additionally, new registrants are welcome to enter the market and register domain names under .istanbul, uniting people across the world under a city brand. People who have lived, visited, or want to visit Istanbul, or do business or look for opportunities in the city, can associate themselves with the community and profit from the increased visibility of the city name.
