.read domain extension

.read is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) operated by Amazon Registry Services, Inc. It was created as part of ICANN's new gTLD program to provide a dedicated namespace for content related to reading, books, literature, and publishing. There are no specific eligibility restrictions for registration, meaning anyone can register a .read domain. The domain was delegated to Amazon in December 2015 and has been active since then. Amazon Registry Services manages the technical backend through Nominet, which handles the registry operations and RDAP services. The name servers are distributed globally to ensure reliable resolution.
