About .how

The .how domain extension is a generic top-level domain meant for websites that provide instructions, guides, tutorials, and how-to content. It is operated by Charleston Road Registry Inc., a subsidiary of Google. There are no specific eligibility restrictions for registering a .how domain, making it open to anyone. The domain was delegated to the registry in August 2014.

History

Google applied for .how through its Charleston Road Registry during the new gTLD program. The domain was delegated on August 15, 2014, and became available for general registration later that year.
