Information

.tech is a delegated top-level domain (TLD) in the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) New gTLD Program. The TLD was applied for by Dot Tech LLC, which emerged as the sole winner during an ICANN auction that took place on September 17, 2014. The domain is categorized under technology and was delegated to the Root Zone on March 21, 2015. With over 358,000 registrations and a significant number of parked domains, .tech has become an essential addition to the digital landscape, providing a dedicated space for technological innovations and advancements.

Restrictions

The acquisition of the .tech domain by Dot Tech LLC was the result of a competitive bidding process that involved several other applicants. Top Level Domain Holdings Ltd., the parent company of .co Internet, was one such applicant. However, they did not secure the TLD and instead opted for a share in future revenues as part of a $15 million funding agreement. Other applicants like STRAAT Investments, Donuts (Lone Moon, LLC), and Google also put in bids but were unsuccessful. There are no known restrictions on owning or registering a .tech domain, making it an open and accessible space for individuals and organizations within the technology sector.
