About .top

.top is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) open to anyone, with no specific eligibility restrictions. It is sponsored by Hong Kong Zhongze International Limited, based in Hong Kong, China. The domain was originally delegated in August 2014 to Jiangsu Bangning Science & Technology Co., Ltd., and later transferred to its current sponsor in January 2026. Registration services are available through nic.top, and the WHOIS server is whois.nic.top. The name servers are operated by zdnscloud. Because .top is unrestricted, it has been used broadly for personal sites, businesses, and various online projects. Its simple, memorable name has contributed to its popularity as a general-purpose domain extension.

Eligibility & restrictions
