About the .REIT domain
What is the .REIT domain?
Only qualifying REITs operating under a REIT regime officially established and recognized by Nareit in their home country can register a .reit domain, regardless of the local acronym used in that market. A rigorous validation process requires documenting that the entity actually operates as a REIT, and the domain is not available to the REIT's sponsors, holding companies, or other affiliated entities: only the REIT entity itself can register. The requested domain name must correspond to the REIT's legal or commonly used trade name, which may include acronyms, registered or common-law trademarks, and stock ticker symbols, but names that could cause confusion due to excessive similarity with the name of a sponsor, holding company, or other affiliated entity are not permitted. Both initial registration and every renewal are limited to a one-year term, requiring reapplication and reconfirmation each cycle that the entity still meets the eligibility requirements.
