Information

.rest is a new top-level domain (TLD) that was delegated to the Root Zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) on April 2, 2014, by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The domain is operated by Punto 2012 Sociedad Anonima de Capital Variable. It is specifically designed for the restaurant industry and related products and services. The term "rest" holds global appeal as it is the beginning of the word "restaurant" in over 20 languages. ICANN's mission to expand the TLD space and introduce increased competition into new markets and languages is supported by the adoption of the .rest gTLD, which also supports Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs).

Restrictions

The registration of domains under the .rest gTLD is intended to be open to all parties for legitimate purposes. While it is expected that most registrants will be from the restaurant industry, validation criteria are not imposed to avoid increasing costs and restricting innovation. The specific and descriptive nature of the string is expected to discourage parties outside the industry from registering domain names. The .rest gTLD aims to provide increased consumer choice, a reduction in the cost of obtaining domain names, and improved user experience by allowing consumers to easily locate the domain name for which they are searching because of the intuitive domain name and capacity for registration in their local language.
