dotBrand gTLD –
The Future of Digital Identity

A dotBrand gTLD (generic top-level domain) is a dedicated, branded space on the internet owned exclusively by your organization. Unlike traditional extensions such as .com or .org, a dotBrand domain puts you in full control of your online presence. Every website, subdomain, and email under your .brand directly represents your business—delivering trust, authenticity, and security at every interaction.
With a dotBrand gTLD, your business gains more than just a domain name. You unlock the power to protect your brand online, strengthen digital identity, and future-proof your enterprise in an evolving internet ecosystem.
