About the .FLY domain
What is the .FLY domain?
There is some ambiguity about this extension's actual status: on one hand, Google Registry does not include .fly among the catalog of extensions it offers directly and openly to the public — a list that does include domains like .dad, .day, .boo, or .channel — suggesting the company keeps this extension outside its active commercial offering. On the other hand, some external commercial registrars present .fly as an extension available with no specific restrictions. Given this discrepancy between sources, it's especially advisable to confirm actual availability with a registrar before planning any project around this extension.
.fly is owned by Google through Charleston Road Registry, but is not among the extensions the company offers directly to the public from its own registry. There is some conflicting information on this: some commercial registrars present it as available with no restrictions, while Google Registry does not include it in its official catalog of open extensions. It's worth confirming actual availability before planning a project. Contact our team to confirm availability and the exact requirements.
