.hotmail domain extension

The .hotmail domain extension is a brand top-level domain operated by Microsoft Corporation. It was created to support the Hotmail email service, which Microsoft acquired and later rebranded as Outlook.com. As a branded TLD, registration is restricted to Microsoft and its authorized affiliates. The domain is managed by Microsoft with technical support from Nominet. It was delegated in the root zone in June 2015, giving Microsoft a dedicated namespace for its email platform.
