.nyc
generic
.nyc is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) for the city of New York. It is sponsored by the City of New York through its Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT). The domain is open to individuals, businesses, and organizations with a verifiable connection to New York City, such as a street address, PO Box, or official presence in one of the five boroughs. Registration is restricted to those who can prove a local tie, which helps ensure the namespace stays community-focused. GoDaddy Registry operates the backend registry services. The TLD was delegated in March 2014, making it one of the first city-branded gTLDs launched after ICANN's new program. It gives New Yorkers a recognizable digital address that signals local identity and pride.
Eligibility and restrictions
Eligibility is limited to individuals and entities with a verifiable New York City connection, such as a physical street address, PO Box, or official presence in the five boroughs.
