The .industries Domain: For Manufacturing Sectors
.industries was recorded in the root zone on 13 February 2014; its ICANN registry agreement is dated 5 December 2013 and names Binky Moon, LLC as the contracting party. The nTLDstats page accessed on 12 August 2026 shows 8,802 registrations, 7,162 of them in the zone file. The agreement commits the operator to running the zone without identity-based eligibility limits.
Production plants, machinery makers, supply chain companies, industrial estates and multi-arm holding structures use the ending. No documents are requested and no proof of activity is sought. Try candidates through an .industries domain search, and consider the .international page if you want a shorter corporate tone.
This ending's ICANN agreement and the .ink agreement were signed on the same day, 5 December 2013. Today the .industries zone holds 8,802 registrations and the .ink zone 209,575: a gap of roughly 24 times. The difference has as much to do with how many jobs the word covers as with any operator's effort. "Industries" is plural, long and formal, costly to type and to say. So if you want a short memorable address, focus on shortening the root rather than the ending; a two-word root already produces a long address here.

.industries Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: your .industries 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 .industries 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 .industries 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 .industries 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 .industries Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
No; the agreement bars the operator from setting identity-based eligibility limits.
No industrial register certificate, capacity report or chamber membership is requested. The permits needed to manufacture arise from the activity itself and have nothing to do with a domain name. Publishing your licence and certificate numbers on a company information page does speed up supplier audits.
-
It suits you well when several production lines are presented under one roof.
The plural form makes gathering multiple business lines at one address feel natural, and a subdomain per line keeps administration simple. Where divisions are known by their own brands, separate addresses work better. For a comparison, read it beside the .international page.
-
7,162 of 8,802 registrations appear in the zone file, roughly 81 percent.
The ratio is high and the zone is small: names are used rather than held, yet the pool is not exhausted. The sector-plus-region pattern remains widely open. Sweep a long candidate list in a single pass with bulk domain name search.
-
Length is not a disadvantage in itself, but it does raise the rate of typing errors.
In practice the loss comes from advertising and business cards rather than search: people mistype long addresses. Keep the root to one word and avoid hyphens to reduce that. Registering the most common misspelling separately and pointing it at the real address is another method that works.
-
You can; an authorisation code is enough and the operator requests no extra documents.
The typical obstacle in industrial companies is a name sitting in an IT supplier's account, where the registration stays even after the contract ends. Confirm the holder through whois search before you start, and move the contact address to a corporate one.
