.vanguard domain extension

The .vanguard domain is a generic TLD owned and operated by The Vanguard Group, Inc., a major investment management company headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania. It is a branded top-level domain, intended for use by Vanguard and its affiliates to support their online presence and services. Registration of .vanguard domains is restricted to Vanguard and its authorized entities, meaning it is not open to the general public for registration. The TLD was delegated in August 2016, giving Vanguard a dedicated namespace on the internet to promote trust and clarity for customers interacting with the company online. The registry is managed with technical support from Identity Digital, and domain registrations are handled through Vanguard’s own registration services.

Delegated on 18 August 2016, .vanguard was among the first wave of corporate brand TLDs following ICANN's new gTLD program. The IANA record shows a record last updated in August 2023, indicating ongoing administrative maintenance.
