.cyou
generic
.cyou is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) open to anyone. It was originally delegated to Beijing Gamease Age Digital Technology Co., Ltd. in March 2015. The domain is now sponsored by Shortdot SA, a company based in Luxembourg. There are no specific eligibility restrictions, so registrations are available to the general public. The registry services are handled by CentralNic, and the WHOIS server is whois.nic.cyou. The name is a playful take on "see you," making it popular for personal websites and creative projects.
History
The domain was first delegated in March 2015 to a Chinese company. In May 2020, control transferred to Shortdot SA, which continues to operate it today.
