.mcdonalds domain extension

.mcdonalds is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) intended for use by McDonald's Corporation. It was sponsored by McDonald's itself, though the sponsor field is listed as not assigned. The domain was delegated in August 2016 but was revoked just over a year later, in August 2017. As of the last record update in September 2017, the domain is not present in the root zone. This means .mcdonalds is not currently active or available for registration. The TLD was part of a wave of brand-specific gTLDs, but its short lifespan makes it a rare example of a revoked brand TLD.

The .mcdonalds domain was delegated to McDonald's Corporation on August 2, 2016. It was revoked on August 25, 2017, just over a year later. The record was last updated on September 1, 2017. The reason for revocation is not specified in the IANA record, but it likely involved McDonald's decision to not maintain the TLD.
