About the .FREE domain

What is the .FREE domain?

The .free is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) delegated to the root zone on October 27, 2016, and managed by Amazon Registry Services, Inc., based in Seattle.

This extension is part of the broad portfolio of generic English dictionary domains Amazon applied for with ICANN, a strategy the company has applied unevenly: some extensions, like .bot or .fast, eventually opened to the public after years of restriction, while others, like .book or .buy, remain closed. In the case of .free, there is no clear public confirmation of its current availability status, so it's especially advisable to verify directly with an accredited registrar before assuming registration is open.
Registration restrictions

There is no clear public confirmation of whether .free is currently open for general registration or remains reserved as part of Amazon's strategy of controlling generic English dictionary terms. Given this uncertainty, it's worth confirming actual availability directly with an accredited registrar before planning any project. Contact our team to confirm availability and the exact requirements.
