.hitachi domain extension

The .hitachi domain is a branded top-level domain, so it is strictly for Hitachi, Ltd., the Japanese multinational conglomerate. Hitachi, Ltd. itself is the sponsor and the only entity that can register domains under .hitachi. This kind of gTLD lets a company run its own namespace on the internet, usually for internal use, products, or marketing. The registry is operated by GMO Registry, Inc., a Japanese domain registrar that handles the technical backend. GMO Registry also runs the WHOIS and RDAP services for .hitachi. Because it is a brand TLD, there are no public registrations; only Hitachi can create second-level domains. The domain was delegated in April 2015, and the IANA record was last updated in August 2019.
