.red is an active generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) that was successfully delegated to the Root Zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) on January 18, 2014, by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The registry and manager of this TLD is Afilias. The domain name is part of ICANN's New gTLD Program, which aimed to expand the internet namespace by introducing new generic top-level domains. The category for .red is Lifestyle. As of now, there are over 19,000 registrations and approximately 21,000 parked domains under this TLD.
The acquisition of the .red domain went through a private auction in June 2013, where Afilias emerged as the winning bidder against Donuts. The financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. To become the registry operator for .red, Afilias had to pass all the necessary processes set by ICANN. Once these requirements were met, they received a Registry Agreement from ICANN on November 7, 2013. There are no known restrictions on owning or registering a .red domain.
