Open NIC - Top Level Domains

Top Level Domains

Currently, OpenNIC supports the following TLDs:

.bbs

aimed toward (Telnet-style) bulletin board systems and related Web sites.

.dyn

dynamic IPs.

.free

operated by FreeNIC, the .free tld provides namespace, certificate authority, and other services to encourage the non-commercial use of the internet.

.fur

furry fandom-related sites.

.geek

chartered for use by geek-oriented sites, including anything of a personal or hobbyist nature. This description is deliberately vague to reflect the huge range of interests that might qualify.

.opennic.glue

internal architectural, as in root server administration and peering purposes. The only domain names that exist for this TLD are those that are used for each system on the peer.

.gopher

sites using the Gopher protocol.

.indy

independent news, media, and entertainment.

.ing

fun TLD. Further details to be confirmed.

.micro

micronations and their entities. Recent and not widely used yet.

.neo

emo subculture with influences of technology, music, and other forms of multimedia.

.null

miscellaneous non-commercial individual sites.

.oss

open-source software.

.oz

Australian-related content, without the residency requirements of .au.

.parody

venue for non-commercial parody work. Having a TLD designated to works of parody attempts to remove claims that a website could be mistaken for a business site, and thus reduces the possibility of claims of trademark infringement.

.pirate

created as a reaction against internet censorship.
