The .diet Domain: Nutrition, Meal Plans and Recipes
.diet entered the root zone on 15 August 2014, and the sponsoring organisation in today's IANA record is XYZ.COM LLC. The zone launched in 2014 under a different operator and moved into its present portfolio after a change of hands. The nTLDstats page accessed on 11 August 2026 shows 1,384 registrations with 963 of them in the zone file.
A dietitian's practice, a meal-plan service, a recipe archive, a community for people with particular dietary needs — all read naturally here. The rule: where the content is about the eating pattern itself, .diet speaks directly; where exercise, sleep and general wellbeing are in scope too, a broader ending wears better. Test the candidates in a domain name search.
Neither a dietitian's credential nor content moderation is defined on the registry side; the address shows nothing about the basis of your advice. Wording that promises a specific outcome counts as a health claim in many countries and falls under separate rules. Saying who wrote the material, which sources it rests on and when a doctor should be consulted protects readers and keeps you ready if anyone asks.

.diet Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: your .diet 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 .diet 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 .diet 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 $32.89 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 .diet 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 .diet Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
Anyone can; no dietetic credential is requested.
XYZ.COM LLC asks for no professional qualification, registration or undertaking about content. That does not mean the right to advise arrives with the address: nutrition counselling is regulated as a profession in many countries. Names can be tried in a domain name search.
-
Who prepared the content, and when a doctor should be seen.
General advice is not enough in pregnancy, chronic illness or alongside medication, and saying so plainly matters. A source list and the date of the last update belong on the same page. Where an intake form gathers health data, secure it with an SSL certificate.
-
It holds 1,384 registrations, 963 of which are in the zone file.
The figures come from the nTLDstats page accessed on 11 August 2026. A rate near 70% says a third of the registered names have not been attached to a site. Because the zone is small, labels naming an eating pattern or a city stay widely open.
-
Yes. The current IANA record shows XYZ.COM LLC as the sponsoring organisation.
The zone opened in 2014 under a different operator, and the contracting party changed after a transfer. Changes of this kind leave registrant names and expiry dates untouched; only the body running the zone is different. The root zone record is where to confirm it.
-
The name of an eating pattern, or the city you serve.
Steer clear of labels promising an outcome: they sit awkwardly with regulation and misrepresent your scope a few years on. A dietary approach, a cuisine or an audience name is both available and close to how people search. Try variants in a bulk domain name search.
-
Begin by obtaining the authorisation code from your registrar.
Where bookings and subscriptions run, downtime turns straight into cancellations, so pick a quiet hour and prepare the name servers first. The domain has to be unlocked and at least sixty days past registration. Check it with a whois search, then move on to domain transfer.
