Frequently asked questions about the .SHAW domain
Can I register a .shaw domain?
No. This extension was revoked by ICANN on July 9, 2024 and is no longer delegated in the IANA root zone, so no registrar in the world can offer its registration.
Who owned .shaw?
It was delegated to Shaw Cablesystems G.P., a subsidiary of the Canadian telecommunications operator Shaw Communications from March 10, 2016 until its delegation was revoked.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It means ICANN has formally withdrawn that extension's delegation from the internet root zone, usually because the operator stopped paying registry fees or decided to discontinue the project.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.
