BRAND REGISTRY GROUP
The Association for Brands at the Top Level
What is a dotBrand?
A “dotBrand” is a top-level-domain which allows a brand-holder to operate its own registry at the root of the Internet. Companies from different industries applied for their dotBrands in 2012 and over 550 are now live, providing a trusted space where brand owners have complete control of the domain allocation that supports their business. More organizations are expected to apply for their own dotBrand in the future via ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.
About dotBrands
A dotBrand puts you in control of your own digital space at the root of the Internet. It is your platform to create a secure, online landscape in the shape that you want, supporting your business needs and customer experiences to deliver your products and services.
