schmidt (.schmidt)

The .schmidt domain extension is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) operated by SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S., a French company known for its kitchen and furniture brand. It serves as a branded namespace for the company's online presence, allowing it to create unique and trustworthy web addresses linked directly to the Schmidt brand. The domain is restricted; registrations are limited to SCHMIDT GROUPE and its affiliated entities to protect brand integrity. This gTLD was delegated in July 2014, originally to SALM S.A.S., the former owner of the Schmidt brand, before transitioning to SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S. As a branded TLD, .schmidt enhances the company's digital identity and provides a secure, recognizable space for its products and services.

The .schmidt domain was delegated to SALM S.A.S. in July 2014 as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program. Subsequently, the sponsorship was transferred to SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S., reflecting corporate restructuring. The registry records show the last update in November 2023.
