About .news

.news is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) designed for news publishers, journalists, and anyone sharing current events or commentary. It is operated by Dog Beach, LLC, a subsidiary of Identity Digital, a major domain registry company based in Bellevue, Washington. The domain is open to all registrants with no specific eligibility restrictions, making it available for news organizations, bloggers, and individuals alike. Its broad appeal lies in its clear association with news content, helping websites signal their purpose to visitors. The .news namespace was delegated in March 2015, originally managed by United TLD Holdco, Ltd. In June 2021, control transferred to Dog Beach, LLC, which continues to run the registry under Identity Digital's infrastructure. Today, .news remains a popular choice for anyone wanting a domain that instantly communicates a focus on news and information.
