.clinic Domains: Addresses for Practices and Health Centres
.clinic entered the root zone on 11 April 2014; the IANA record today names Binky Moon, LLC as the sponsoring organisation, with the original delegation made to Goose Park, LLC. No eligibility condition has been verified for registration. The nTLDstats page accessed on 11 August 2026 shows 22,953 names in the zone.
The word reaches beyond healthcare: law clinics, veterinary practices and university teaching units all use it, so the root has to draw the line. Here is the rule worth following. Where the address will be typed by a patient booking an appointment, or read off a sign outside, choose a root that is short and unambiguous when spoken. Pairing a practitioner's name with a speciality is a common approach that works. Compare alternatives with a domain name search.
Nothing on the registry side describes a check on medical licences, operating permits or professional registration. The right to provide healthcare comes from the law where you practise, not from an address. Publish the practitioner's name, registration number and the clinic's licence details openly on the page; as a patient, confirm those details in the relevant official register rather than reading them off the domain.

.clinic Domain Lifecycle
Domain lifecycle
The stages in order, from registration to releaseDomain Is Available (Available)
A .clinic address at this stage has not been taken yet, and it goes to whoever registers first. Check the name you have in mind — if it is free, it can be yours within minutes.
Domain Is Active (Active Period)
Once registration is complete the domain is yours for the term you chose. You can renew at any point before expiry to keep it uninterrupted, or switch on auto-renewal so you never have to watch the date.
Redemption Period (Redemption Period)
The domain is not released the moment it expires — during this window it is still yours and can be recovered. Some extensions charge an extra restore fee at this stage, so renewing before expiry is always the cheaper route.
Pending Delete Period (Pending Delete Period)
If the redemption window is missed too, the domain enters the final stage and waits to be deleted. Renewal and recovery are no longer possible here; when the period ends the registration is removed for good.
Domain Is Available Again
Once deletion completes, the domain leaves the system and anyone can register it — popular names are often taken the same minute by someone watching. Keep auto-renewal on so a name you care about never gets this far.

Frequently Asked Questions About .clinic Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
Not for registration; no licence check is defined on the registry side.
Providing healthcare, however, depends on the law where you practise, on professional registration and on premises licensing, and that obligation follows from the work rather than the address. Holding the ending grants no clinical authority. Check the state of a name with a domain name search.
-
No — law clinics and veterinary practices use the word just as readily.
University teaching units, animal health centres and advice clinics all carry the same term. What you actually offer is therefore communicated by the root you choose, not by the ending. To test several combinations together, use the bulk domain name search.
-
The practitioner's name, registration number, premises licence and contact details.
Any page with a booking form or patient correspondence processes personal health data, so stating what you keep and for how long is both a legal duty and a matter of trust. An encrypted connection is not open to debate here — choose a certificate on the SSL certificate page.
-
The nature of the service decides: treatment or ongoing care?
.clinic points at a place of examination and treatment, which suits appointments, specialities and details of the clinical team. .care covers support and wellbeing more broadly and reads better for home care or social services. Details sit on the .care domain page.
-
A transfer starts with the authorisation code from your current registrar.
The transfer lock has to be open, sixty days must have passed since registration, and your administrative email address has to be working, because the approval link goes there. Check the current record with whois search, then start the move on the domain transfer page.
-
Fairly easy — at 22,953 registrations the zone counts as mid-sized.
That figure comes from the nTLDstats page accessed on 11 August 2026. Some common speciality words may be taken, while combinations of a practitioner's name, a district and a speciality remain widely open. Make sure the name can still be spelled correctly when read out over the phone.
