Illustrative uses

What could a .anime domain be used for?

If the string proceeds through the ICANN process and into delegation, it could give anime-focused projects a highly distinctive address. Publicly announced information identifies Oinkadot as the applicant associated with .anime, but the extension is not in the public root zone yet, so registration should be treated as forthcoming rather than live.

Frequently asked questions

Is .anime a live public domain extension?

It should be treated as prelaunch unless and until delegation and registration availability are publicly confirmed.

Who is associated with the .anime application?

Publicly announced information identifies Oinkadot as the organisation associated with the application.

What types of sites suit .anime best?

Anime communities, creators, retailers, publishers, event pages and official project microsites are natural fits.

Can businesses outside anime use it?

They can in theory, but the strongest fit is for organisations with a genuine anime connection.

Do these example names show available domains?

No. They are purely illustrative examples of how the extension could be used.

Should I rely on .anime as my only web address?

For most projects, it is sensible to keep a more established backup domain as well.
