About the .HOT domain

What is the .HOT domain?

The .hot is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) delegated to the root zone on August 5, 2016, and managed by Amazon Registry Services, Inc., based in Seattle.

After several years as a restricted extension within Amazon's broader strategy of controlling generic English dictionary terms, .hot finally opened for public registration on April 2, 2025, alongside two other extensions from the same company: .free and .spot. It is intended for businesses, individuals, or organizations tied to spicy food, "hot" entertainment, trendy fashion, or any project that could broadly be described as "hot," with prices ranging between $26.98 and $100 depending on the registrar, among the 11 already offering it.
