.prod domain extension

The .prod TLD is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) intended for use by professionals and professional services firms. It is operated by Charleston Road Registry Inc., a subsidiary of Google. The domain is open to general registration with no specific eligibility requirements beyond standard ICANN rules. However, the intended use is for professionals such as lawyers, doctors, accountants, and others offering services. Charleston Road Registry manages several other TLDs including .google and .youtube. The domain was delegated in August 2014 and the registry is based in Mountain View, California. Google uses the namespace for its own Google Professional services but the domain is also available to the public through registrars.
