.delivery Domains: The Address Says What You Carry
.delivery entered the root zone on 16 October 2014, with Binky Moon, LLC named as the sponsoring organisation in the IANA record. No eligibility condition has been verified for registration. According to the nTLDstats page accessed on 11 August 2026, the zone holds 17,859 names and 13,886 of them appear in the zone file — close to 78% of what is registered is live.
Courier work, food distribution, last-mile logistics, subscription boxes: with this ending you do not have to spell out the trade. The deciding question is scope. Where delivery is the service itself, .delivery sits right; where delivery is merely the final step of a sale, an ending built around the product or the brand serves better. Free candidates show up in a domain name search.
The ending promises nothing about speed or reliability; your page does that. Set out the area you cover, the hours you run, the expected window, and how returns and damage are handled, without leaning on the address to imply any of it. Consumer rules in many countries require the delivery window to be stated before the order is placed, so keeping it visible serves compliance and cuts support traffic at once.

.delivery Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: your .delivery 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 .delivery 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 .delivery 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 $11.12 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 .delivery 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 .delivery Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
Anyone can; no transport licence is requested.
Binky Moon, LLC does not ask for a company record, a vehicle fleet or a logistics permit when the name is registered. A single courier working one neighbourhood and a national distribution firm apply on the same terms. Suitable names can be tried in a domain name search.
-
Coverage area, operating hours, expected window and the returns process.
The first thing a visitor wants is an answer to "do you come here, and when". A list of districts or a range of postcodes answers that faster than an address lookup does. Because the order form collects personal data, an encrypted connection is required; see the SSL certificate page.
-
.delivery speaks about carriage, .direct about cutting out the middle.
Running a courier network, the visitor expects times and coverage. Selling from maker to buyer, the expectation is about how many hands the goods pass through, and the message becomes "nobody stands in between". The .direct domain page sets out that side.
-
It holds 17,859 registrations, of which 13,886 are live.
The figures come from the nTLDstats page accessed on 11 August 2026. A publication rate around 78% shows that most registrants here have actually built something. Labels narrowed by a city or a product category remain freer than the single generic words.
-
A city name or the category of goods you carry works best.
Adjectives such as fast and express are crowded in this zone, while names carrying a district, a product group or a service window stay available and match how people search. If several cities each need their own name, run them together through a bulk domain name search.
-
Request the authorisation code from your current registrar.
On a site that takes orders, downtime is lost revenue, so plan the move outside peak hours and set the name servers up in advance. The domain has to be unlocked and at least sixty days past registration. Read the record with a whois search, then continue at domain transfer.
