About the .SPOT domain

What is the .SPOT domain?

The .spot is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) delegated to the root zone on February 17, 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, .spot finally opened for public registration on April 2, 2025, alongside two other extensions from the same company: .free and .hot. It is particularly well-suited for businesses and projects tied to places, locations, points of interest, or specific spaces, with prices varying by registrar among those already offering it.
