About the .EAT domain

What is the .EAT domain?

The .eat is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) delegated to the root zone on June 12, 2014, and managed by Charleston Road Registry Inc., under Google Inc.

Despite being a generic English dictionary word, similar in nature to other extensions Google has opened to the public — such as .dad, .day, .boo, or .channel — .eat is not among the catalog of domains the company offers for general registration. Google reserves this extension for its own products and services, with no registration process currently available for individuals or companies outside the company.
