.life is a top-level domain (TLD) that was delegated in ICANN's New gTLD Program in May 2014. Donuts, operated by Trixy Oaks, LLC, was selected as the Registry Operator for this string after a private auction against other applicants. The domain is categorized under "Lifestyle," and as of now, there are over 234,000 registrations with approximately 61.5% being parked domains.
The acquisition of the .life domain was a result of a competitive bidding process where Donuts emerged as the winning bidder against CompassRose.Life Inc. and Xiamen 35.com Technology Co., Ltd. The auction, administered by Applicant Auction, took place in December 2013, and both losing applicants received a pay-off from Donuts for withdrawing their applications. There are no known restrictions on owning or registering a .life domain, allowing individuals and organizations to secure their desired names under this TLD.
