About the .IWC domain

What is the .IWC domain?

The .iwc is an extension that is no longer delegated in the internet root zone managed by IANA. It was originally delegated on November 20, 2014 to Richemont DNS Inc., a subsidiary of the Swiss luxury group Richemont, owner of the watchmaking manufacture IWC Schaffhausen, as a brand (.brand) extension under ICANN Specification 13, as part of the broad extension program Richemont launched for its luxury brands (.cartier, .chloe, .piaget, .jlc, .montblanc, .lancaster, .panerai, among others). However, its delegation was revoked on June 28, 2018, and since then no technical registry has operated this extension. While this situation persists, no registrar in the world, including miHosting, can offer registration of names under .iwc.

Frequently asked questions about the .IWC domain

Can I register a .iwc domain?

No. This extension was revoked by ICANN on June 28, 2018 and is no longer delegated in the IANA root zone, so no registrar in the world can offer its registration.

Who owned .iwc?

It was delegated to Richemont DNS Inc., a subsidiary of the Swiss luxury group Richemont, owner of the watchmaking manufacture IWC Schaffhausen from November 20, 2014 until its delegation was revoked.

What does it mean for an extension to be "revoked"?

It means ICANN has formally withdrawn that extension's delegation from the internet root zone, usually because the operator stopped paying registry fees or decided to discontinue the project.

Could it be reactivated in the future?

Unlikely, since these extensions are usually abandoned voluntarily by their original operator.

What alternatives do I have in the meantime?

You can choose from hundreds of active and available extensions — from .com to more sector-specific options.
