.alibaba
generic
.alibaba is a generic top-level domain owned and operated by Alibaba Group Holding Limited, the Chinese e-commerce and technology conglomerate. It is a brand TLD, meaning it is primarily intended for use by Alibaba and its subsidiaries to create a trusted namespace for their products and services. Registration is restricted to the Alibaba Group and its affiliates, so the general public cannot register .alibaba domains. The domain was delegated in January 2016, and its name servers are hosted by Alibaba Cloud. The registry services are managed through Alibaba's own infrastructure, with WHOIS and RDAP services available for lookup.
Eligibility and restrictions
Registration is restricted to Alibaba Group Holding Limited and its affiliates. Not open to the general public.
