About the .FAN domain

What is the .FAN domain?

.fan is a generic top-level domain registered in the IANA database on 28 February 2015, originally delegated to Asiamix Digital Ltd., an Asian company, and transferred to Dog Beach, LLC (Identity Digital) in June 2021. It has nearly 14,000 domains worldwide, with 59.22% active in the DNS zone, a somewhat lower ratio than average suggesting a higher proportion of speculative registrations. Its origin tied to an Asian company is confirmed in the registrar profile: Chengdu West Dimension Digital Technology Co., Ltd. (a Chinese registrar) leads with 10.06% of the total, followed by Dynadot, GoDaddy, Porkbun and DNSPod (a Tencent subsidiary) — a pattern confirming very strong real adoption in the Chinese and Asian market, consistent with that region's huge fan culture (especially K-pop and gaming).
