About the .RADIO domain

What is the .RADIO domain?

The .radio is the community generic top-level domain (gTLD) reserved for the worldwide radio sector, launched in 2017 and managed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), the organization grouping public and private broadcasters across Europe and beyond.

Internet radio stations, broadcaster unions, traditional AM, FM, or DAB stations, radio amateurs, radio hosts and presenters, journalists specialized in radio news, and companies related to the sector can register a .radio domain. A specific requirement of this extension: the chosen domain name must be closely connected to the applicant's actual activity or services within the radio field, with a generic or indirect link not being sufficient. The EBU applies verification policies designed to ensure the authenticity of .radio registrations, with checks aimed at preventing cybersquatting and abuse of the extension. Names must be between 3 and 63 characters, support internationalized domain names (IDN), have a 45-day grace period after expiration, and a 30-day quarantine after deletion.
