About the .CALL domain

What is the .CALL domain?

The .call is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) delegated to the root zone on November 12, 2015, and managed by Amazon Registry Services, Inc., based in Seattle, with the registry's technical operations run by Nominet, the British registry that also administers .uk.

This extension is part of a broader Amazon strategy: applying to ICANN for control of numerous generic English dictionary terms with potential corporate or strategic use, then keeping these extensions under a closed profile, similar to the approach followed with .book or .buy. Unlike .bot, which Amazon fully opened to the public in 2023, there is no record of a clearly available public registration process for .call, suggesting the company keeps this extension reserved, at least for now, out of reach of individuals and external companies.
