.shaw
generic
The .shaw TLD was a generic top-level domain meant for Shaw Communications, a Canadian telecommunications company. It was sponsored by Shaw Cablesystems G.P. and delegated in March 2016. The domain was intended for Shaw branded services and related content. However, the TLD was revoked in July 2024, and it is no longer present in the root zone. The registry had restrictions that limited registration to Shaw and its affiliates. The TLD is now effectively defunct. No new registrations are possible.
