About the .NOW domain
What is the .NOW domain?
After several years as a restricted extension, Amazon finally opened .now for public registration through a multi-phase process: a Sunrise period for trademark holders that closed on September 21, 2024, followed by a Dutch early-access auction between September 23 and 28, 2024, until reaching general availability on September 30, 2024. The extension, launched alongside .deal, is particularly well-suited for real-time news projects, live events, and immediate current-events content.
