DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.aftermarket Domain Names

Applied for; not yet delegated

The .aftermarket extension suggests buying, selling and trading beyond the original sale. It suits businesses and projects focused on replacement parts, refurbished goods, auctions, resellers and specialist marketplaces. Based on public ICANN programme information and IANA root-zone evidence, it is not yet delegated in the DNS root, so it should be treated as pre-launch rather than live.
