goodyear (.goodyear)

.goodyear is a branded generic top-level domain (gTLD) owned and operated by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, the well known tire manufacturer based in Akron, Ohio. It was delegated in June 2016 as part of ICANN's new gTLD program, which lets companies run their own namespace. The domain is restricted: only Goodyear and its authorized affiliates can register names. This keeps the space tightly controlled for official brand use, marketing, and internal services. The registry is managed through Afilias, and registration services are handled directly by Goodyear's website. There is no public registration available. The domain's WHOIS and RDAP servers are active, and it uses four name servers for reliability. Goodyear joined a small group of corporations that secured their own TLD to protect their brand online.
