WHAT IS A .HEALTHCARE DOMAIN

The .healthcare Domain: The Sector's Institutional Ending

.healthcare was recorded in the root zone on 24 July 2014; its ICANN registry agreement is dated 12 June 2014 and names Binky Moon, LLC as the contracting party. The nTLDstats page accessed on 12 August 2026 shows 11,070 registrations, of which 9,077 appear in the zone file.

The word describes an industry rather than a single consultation: hospital groups, health technology companies, insurers and payment processors, suppliers and training bodies all read well here. Try candidates through a .healthcare domain search, and compare the shorter, more patient-facing option on the .health page.

The ending accredits nobody

The commitment in the agreement binds this zone to open registration: the operator undertakes to keep registrations available to lawful registrants and to impose no identity-based eligibility limit. The same agreement asks registrants who collect sensitive health and financial data to implement reasonable security measures commensurate with the services they offer. Read together the picture is clear — the address demonstrates no accreditation, licence or institutional status, yet collecting data does create obligations. When assessing a supplier, check the register and the accreditation record rather than the domain.

.healthcare Domain Lifecycle

Active registration term 1 - 10 years You choose it at registration
Renewal window 20 days After expiry, with a late renewal fee
Redemption period 30 days After deletion, with a restore fee
Last day to act Day 50 After this day there is no way back

What happens day by day after it expires

Day 0 is the domain's expiry date

In short: your .healthcare 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.

What happens day by day after it expires Lifecycle diagram for .healthcare, left to right: the name starts out available; once registered, the site and e-mail work; day 0 is the expiry date and the domain goes on Client Hold; for the first 20 days renewal at the normal price stays open; on day 20 the registration is deleted and a 30-day redemption period begins; on day 50 redemption closes and a 5-day pending delete window starts; on day 55 the name is open to anyone again. The site and e-mail stay down from day 0 through day 55.

Domain Is Available (Available)

Open-ended

A .healthcare 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)

1 - 10 years

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)

Day 0 – 20

On its expiry date your .healthcare 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 $11.44 late renewal fee is now added to the renewal price; renewing before the expiry date avoids that fee entirely.

Redemption Period (Redemption / RGP)

Day 20 – 50

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)

Day 50 – 55

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)

After day 55

On day 55 the name .healthcare 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 .healthcare Domains

The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.

  • They belong to different registry operators, and their agreements carry different obligations.

    This one's agreement foregrounds open registration and a data-security duty; the other carries specific monitoring and takedown commitments aimed at drug promotion. The wording differs too: this word reads institutional and sector-wide, while the shorter one reads patient-facing.

  • Groups that want to separate corporate communication from patient communication tend to hold both.

    In that arrangement investor, supplier and careers pages live on the corporate address, while appointments, clinics and patient information sit on the shorter one. Link them to each other, and avoid copying the same text into both — the maintenance doubles while the benefit does not.

  • Which data it processes, where that data is stored, and which standard it is audited against.

    Institutional buyers ask this first, and burying it inside a technical document lengthens the sales cycle. Keeping integration and interface documentation publicly readable helps as well. You can compare hosting options on the hosting page.

  • Of 11,070 registrations, 9,077 appear in the zone file — about 82%.

    A high rate that points to corporate rather than speculative use: names here are not bought and parked. Because the word itself is long, single-word roots lose their appeal, and a brand-plus-service pattern works better. Test candidates built that way through the bulk domain name search.

  • Yes. It runs on an authorisation code and the registry asks for no extra documents.

    In an organisation the real exposure is mail flow: invoicing, tender and supplier correspondence arriving at mailboxes on this domain will bounce silently if the records do not carry across. Take a copy of the mail records first, then start from the domain transfer page.
