.bot
generic
.bot is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) designed for use by bots, automated systems, and related technologies. It is operated by Amazon Registry Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Amazon. The domain was delegated in December 2015 and is open to anyone, with no specific eligibility restrictions beyond general domain registration rules. Registrations are processed through accredited registrars, and the registry backend is managed by Nominet. The .bot namespace provides a clear signal that a website or service is associated with automated processes, chatbots, or artificial intelligence. It offers a dedicated space for developers and companies to host bot-related content, APIs, or documentation. The domain has been available since its delegation and continues to be a niche but growing part of the internet's naming system.
