.abc domain extension

The .abc domain is a generic top-level domain sponsored and operated by Disney Enterprises, Inc. It is a brand TLD, meaning it is intended for use by the Walt Disney Company and its affiliates. Registrations are restricted to Disney entities and authorized parties; it is not open to the general public. The domain serves as a secure, branded namespace for Disney's online presence and digital services. IANA records show the domain was delegated in July 2016, making it part of the first major wave of new generic TLDs. Disney is one of several major corporations that applied for their own TLDs during ICANN's new gTLD program, and .abc remains an exclusive, company-controlled domain.

Delegated in July 2016, .abc was one of the many brand-centric TLDs approved through ICANN's new gTLD expansion. Disney Enterprises, Inc. filed its application in 2012 as part of a broader strategy to secure trademark-protected namespaces. The TLD is not associated with the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), despite the letters, and Disney has maintained strict registration controls since its launch.
