.sling domain extension

The .sling domain is a brand top-level domain operated by DISH Technologies L.L.C., a company based in Englewood, Colorado. It was created for entities connected to the Sling brand, which is owned by DISH. The domain is restricted: only DISH Technologies and its affiliates can register names, or third parties that have an agreement with the company. The registry services are handled through Tucows, and the WHOIS server is whois.nic.sling. The domain was initially delegated to Hughes Satellite Systems Corporation in August 2016. In April 2024, control was transferred to DISH Technologies L.L.C., which now sponsors the TLD.

The .sling domain was first delegated to Hughes Satellite Systems Corporation in August 2016. After eight years, the IANA record shows a transfer of the domain to DISH Technologies L.L.C. in April 2024. That company is the current sponsor and operator for the TLD.
