Frequently asked questions about the .HTC domain
Can I register a .htc domain?
No. This extension was revoked by ICANN on October 9, 2017 and is no longer delegated in the IANA root zone, so no registrar in the world can offer its registration.
Who owned .htc?
It was delegated to HTC Corporation, a Taiwanese manufacturer of mobile phones and electronic devices from March 29, 2016 until its delegation was revoked.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It means ICANN has formally withdrawn that extension's delegation from the internet root zone, usually because the operator stopped paying registry fees or decided to discontinue the project.
Could it be reactivated in the future?
Unlikely, since these extensions are usually abandoned voluntarily by their original operator.
