About the .ING domain
What is the .ING domain?
After several years of inactivity, Google Registry officially launched .ing to the public through a three-phase process: a Sunrise period for trademark holders from September 20 to October 24, 2023, an Early Access Period with additional fees that decreased over time from October 31 to December 5, 2023, and general availability starting December 5, 2023 with standard pricing. The charm of this extension lies in using it to build English wordplay with verbs or nouns ending in "-ing" (for example, "look.ing," "see.ing," or "br.ing"), which has made the extension popular among creative brands: one year after launch, Google Registry reported over 20,000 .ing registrations, with notable early adopters like Canva, which registered design.ing and draw.ing for its design tools.
