家電 (.家電)

家電 is a generic top-level domain for the Japanese word for home appliances. It is operated by Amazon Registry Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Amazon. The domain is open to anyone for registration, but it is primarily aimed at manufacturers, retailers, and reviewers of consumer electronics and household appliances. There are no strict eligibility rules beyond standard registration requirements. Amazon secured this domain in 2016 as part of a larger portfolio of internationalized (IDN) TLDs. The registry services are handled by Identity Digital, which also provides the WHOIS and RDAP infrastructure. The domain uses the Punycode form xn--fct429k and features a customized WHOIS server. It is one of several Japanese-character TLDs that round out the global gTLD space.
