Frequently asked questions about the .THEATRE domain
What's the difference between .theatre and .theater?
Both represent the same concept but with different spellings: .theatre is the British form and .theater the American. .theater has much higher real adoption (1,789 domains versus only 186 for .theatre).
Why does .theatre have so few domains?
Its registrar profile, dominated by brand-protection firms like MarkMonitor and CSC, suggests most of the few existing registrations are defensive, not active theater sites.
Who manages the .theatre domain?
XYZ.COM LLC, with CentralNic as technical backend. It was registered with IANA on 13 August 2015.
Is it better to use .theatre or .theater for my theater?
.theater has much more established real adoption. If your audience is British English-speaking, you could also consider .theatre, though with less overall brand recognition.
