Top-level domain
This article is about the top-level domain. For the punctuation mark, see Full stop.
The .bar domain is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) in the Domain Name System of the Internet. It is intended for use by bars, pubs, and other establishments that serve alcoholic beverages. The domain was introduced as part of the ICANN's New gTLD Program, which expanded the number of available top-level domains.
History[edit | edit source]
The .bar domain was delegated to the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) on March 20, 2014. It was one of the many new gTLDs that were created to provide more specific and meaningful domain names for businesses and individuals. The domain is managed by the registry Punto 2012, a company that specializes in managing new gTLDs.
Purpose and Use[edit | edit source]
The primary purpose of the .bar domain is to provide a dedicated namespace for businesses and individuals associated with the bar industry. This includes not only physical bars and pubs but also online communities, blogs, and other websites related to the culture and business of bars. The .bar domain allows these entities to create memorable and relevant web addresses that clearly indicate their association with the bar industry.
Registration[edit | edit source]
Registration of .bar domain names is open to anyone, without restrictions. This means that any individual or organization can register a .bar domain name, regardless of their location or business type. However, the domain is particularly popular among businesses in the hospitality industry, especially those that operate bars, pubs, and nightclubs.
Marketing and Branding[edit | edit source]
The .bar domain is often used as a marketing tool to enhance the branding of businesses in the bar industry. By using a .bar domain, businesses can create a strong online presence that is directly associated with their industry. This can help attract customers who are specifically looking for bar-related services or information.
Technical Details[edit | edit source]
The .bar domain operates under the same technical standards as other gTLDs. It supports Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC), which provides an additional layer of security by enabling the verification of the authenticity of the domain name data.
