.computer Domains: An Address for Hardware and Repair
.computer entered the root zone on 12 December 2013, and the IANA record names Binky Moon, LLC as the sponsoring organisation. No eligibility condition has been verified for registration. The nTLDstats page accessed on 11 August 2026 shows 12,084 names in the zone, of which 9,292 appear in the zone file.
This ending names the tangible thing: the machine, the parts, the build and the repair. The rule follows. Running a callout service, selling refurbished kit or building machines to order, the address says exactly what a visitor came looking for. Where your product is a service reached over the network, the .cloud domain reads better; where it is the code you write, .codes does.

.computer Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: your .computer domain is put on Client Hold on its expiry date, so the site and e-mail stop that same day. You can still renew during the first 20 days, but from this point a late renewal fee is added on top of the renewal price. On day 20 the registration is deleted and until day 50 only a paid restore brings it back. Nothing at all can be done in the 5 days that follow, and on day 55 the name is open to anyone. There is exactly one way never to enter this chain: keep auto-renewal on.
Domain Is Available (Available)
A .computer 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 registered to you for the term you selected. You can renew at any point before it expires to keep it active, or switch on auto-renewal so you never have to watch the date.
Renewal Window (Client Hold)
On its expiry date your .computer domain is put on Client Hold: the site and e-mail go down that day, but the registration is still yours. A single renewal within these first 20 days brings everything back exactly as it was — nothing is lost. The only difference is that a $6.73 late renewal fee is now added to the renewal price; renewing before the expiry date avoids that fee entirely.
Redemption Period (Redemption / RGP)
On day 20 the registration is deleted and the 30-day redemption period that ICANN requires of every gTLD registry begins. The name is not released to anyone during this time; only you can take it back, by paying the restore fee, until day 50. That fee is far higher than a renewal — renewing on time is always the cheaper route.
Pending Delete (Pending Delete)
Once the redemption window closes too, the domain enters its final 5 days and there is no way back. Neither renewal nor restore works here; nobody — your registrar included — can return the name to you. The registry uses this window as the last hold before the name goes back into the pool.
Open to Anyone Again (Released)
On day 55 the name .computer returns to the pool and anyone can register it. Sought-after names are often gone within seconds, and there is no guaranteed way to get one back. Yet staying out of this timeline is entirely in your hands: leave auto-renewal on and the expiry date will never catch you off guard.
The timeline above is the schedule Atak Domain applies and publishes. The ICANN chart you will find elsewhere shows a renewal window of up to 45 days after expiry; ICANN's policy on expired registrations (section 2.2.1) lets registrars delete an expired domain at any time, provided they disclose their policy in advance. We apply that window as 20 days and publish it here in plain sight. Full text of the policy: ICANN Expired Registration Recovery Policy

Frequently Asked Questions About .computer Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
Anyone can; no eligibility condition has been verified.
Binky Moon, LLC, the sponsoring organisation, asks for no business registration, technical qualification or trade verification. A technician working from home and a chain of stores apply on identical terms. To find out whether a name is free, run a domain name search.
-
Look at whether the product is physical or delivered over the network.
.computer speaks to the machine, the parts and work done in person; something arrives in a box or lands on a bench. .cloud describes a service reached remotely and sets the right expectation for anything sold by subscription. Details are on the .cloud domain page.
-
State your service area, typical turnaround, warranty terms and how you price work.
A business taking devices in ends up with access to customer data, so setting out your approach to security and retention feeds trust directly. For a page with a booking form and an encrypted connection, see the SSL certificate page.
-
Make your brand or the district you serve the root.
The ending already names the category, so a repeat such as computercomputers only lengthens the address. In a local repair trade a district name is both short and aligned with what someone is searching for. To try variants together, use the bulk domain name search.
-
You start by getting the authorisation code from your current registrar; the move takes a few days.
In a repair trade the address is printed on your signage and under your invoices, so scheduling the transfer outside a busy period is sensible. Make sure the lock is open and sixty days have passed since registration; the approval link goes to the administrative email. Check the record with whois search, then move to the domain transfer page.
-
Yes — at 12,084 registrations the zone counts as small.
That figure comes from the nTLDstats page accessed on 11 August 2026, with 9,292 names published. Combinations of a city, a district and a service remain widely open. Make sure the name can be spelled correctly when read out over the phone.
