.office domain extension

.office is a generic top level domain operated by Microsoft Corporation. It is part of Microsoft's portfolio of branded TLDs and is intended for use with its Office productivity suite and related services. Registration is restricted to Microsoft and its affiliates, so the domain is not open to the general public. The registry is run by Nominet, which handles the technical infrastructure. The domain was delegated in June 2015 after Microsoft applied for it during ICANN's new gTLD program. It serves as a controlled namespace for Microsoft to support Office brand security, marketing, and product pages.
