.wed
generic
.wed is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) currently operated under ICANN's Emergency Back-End Registry Operator Program (EBERO). The domain was originally delegated to Atgron, Inc. in January 2014. After a transfer in December 2017, ICANN's EBERO program took over registry operations. The technical backend is managed by Nominet, the United Kingdom's .uk registry. There are no publicly listed eligibility restrictions for registering .wed domains, making it an open gTLD. The name suggests a connection to weddings, though the IANA record does not explicitly define a purpose. The domain's registration services are handled through ICANN's EBERO page, and RDAP queries go through Nominet's infrastructure. As of early 2025, the domain remains under emergency management.
History
Delegated to Atgron, Inc. on January 17, 2014. Transferred to ICANN's Emergency Back-End Registry Operator Program on December 8, 2017, following Atgron's inability to continue operations.
