.goo domain extension

.goo is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) that NTT Resonant Inc. originally planned to operate. The intended purpose of .goo was to support the company's web search and portal services. However, the domain was never actually placed in the DNS root zone, meaning it never functioned on the public internet. The IANA record shows it was delegated in February 2015 but then revoked on February 6, 2026, less than a year before now. Since the domain was never active, there are no established registration rules or eligibility restrictions. The revocation was probably due to the sponsoring organization not meeting operational requirements.

The .goo domain was delegated by IANA to NTT Resonant Inc. on February 27, 2015, based on an application from 2015-02-13. Almost 11 years later, it was revoked on February 6, 2026. The record states it is not present in the root zone, so it never worked as a TLD. This makes .goo an unusual case: a delegated TLD that never went live.
