The .marketing Domain: The Discipline Named in the Address
.marketing entered the root zone on 9 January 2014 under an ICANN registry agreement dated 7 November 2013, and the contracting party today is Binky Moon, LLC. The word names a discipline rather than a place: the work of bringing a product and its audience together. The nTLDstats page accessed on 12 August 2026 shows 37,287 registrations, of which 28,242 sit in the zone file.
Advertising and digital agencies, independent specialists, campaign and event teams, email marketing tools, content studios and in-house marketing departments all use the zone. No eligibility condition applies. Try candidates through a .marketing domain search, and compare the .agency page.
This ending is often chosen for campaign-specific addresses, and two mistakes repeat at exactly that point. The first is dropping the address once the campaign ends: inbound links and printed material keep pointing at it, and when the name changes hands your links start landing on a stranger's site. The second is never connecting the campaign address to the main site at all. A workable rule: hold a campaign address for at least two renewal cycles, and when the campaign closes redirect it to the relevant page on your main site instead of deleting it. That keeps the accumulated link value and carries anyone reading an old poster to the right place.

.marketing Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: your .marketing 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 .marketing 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 .marketing 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 .marketing 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 .marketing Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
Not at all. The zone sets no eligibility condition and asks for no professional certificate.
In-house marketing departments, independent specialists and one-person teams use the ending routinely. Because it names the work you do, the address states your role in a single line on a card or an email signature. Visitors expect a service, so the page needs a list of what you offer and a way to reach you.
-
In the short term yes, but without a timeline it does damage.
Hold a campaign address for at least two renewal cycles, and redirect it to the relevant page on your main site once the campaign closes. If you let it go, posters and inbound links can end up pointing at somebody else's site. Test patterns in bulk through the bulk domain name search.
-
Set up a redirect and put a visible link from the campaign page to the main site.
A visitor arriving at a campaign address wants to confirm which organisation stands behind it, and a link to the main site provides that assurance. Turning the address into a permanent redirect when the campaign ends preserves the accumulated link value and carries anyone holding old material to the right page.
-
It carries an open registration undertaking, so no identity-based eligibility limit may be set.
The agreement treats the string as a generic or dictionary term and forbids the operator from reserving names for those associated only with its most common usage. The two other extensions built on the same stem carry different commitment sets; do not assume one's rules when registering another.
-
Yes. Sign-up forms and preference centres collect personal data.
Beyond that, your messages only arrive if the name server and authentication records are configured properly; an incomplete setup pushes mail into filters. The operator enforces no mandatory HTTPS regime in this zone. Review the options on the SSL certificate page.
