Frequently asked questions about the .BOOTS domain
Can I register a .boots domain?
No. This extension was revoked by ICANN on April 5, 2018 and is no longer delegated in the IANA root zone, so no registrar in the world can offer its registration.
Who owned .boots?
It was delegated to The Boots Company PLC, a British pharmacy and drugstore chain from June 18, 2015 until its delegation was revoked.
What does it mean for an extension to be "revoked"?
It means ICANN has formally withdrawn that extension's delegation from the internet root zone, usually because the operator stopped paying registry fees or decided to discontinue its brand extension program.
Could it be reactivated in the future?
Unlikely for revoked brand extensions, since they are usually abandoned voluntarily by the owning company itself.
What alternatives do I have in the meantime?
You can choose from hundreds of active and available extensions — from .com to more sector-specific options.
