The .reisen Domain: The Plural Address for Tour Programmes
The .reisen domain entered the root zone on 3 April 2014 under an ICANN agreement dated 6 March 2014, with Binky Moon, LLC of the Identity Digital group as contracting party. On 13 August 2026 the zone held 5,117 registrations and 4,156 of them appeared in the zone file, a publication rate of eighty-one per cent.
In German the word works both as a plural noun and as a verb, and that double reading gives the address momentum. Tour operators, travel agencies, coach and cruise organisers and travel writers make up the registrant base. No eligibility test applies at registration. Try your candidates in .reisen domain search and shortlist two spellings before you buy.
This agreement commits the registry to open registration: second-level names stay available to lawful registrants, the operator may not limit eligibility by identity, and it may not shut out legitimate users whose work sits outside the most common usage of the term. The singular form .reise carries an inherited sector commitment in its own contract instead. Both belong to the same company today. The word family is shared; the signed text is not, so do not treat the pair as interchangeable.

.reisen Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: your .reisen 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 .reisen 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 .reisen 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 $5.83 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 .reisen 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 .reisen Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
No. The agreement commits the registry to open registration and forbids it from limiting eligibility by identity. The text goes one step further: legitimate users whose work sits outside the most common sense of the word may not be shut out either. A project outside the travel trade can therefore register freely. Try your candidates on the .reisen search page.
-
The rule is straightforward. If you sell several tours, routes or programmes, the plural reads more accurately; if you are naming one trip brand or one route, the singular fits better. There is a second criterion on the contractual side, because the singular carries a sector-bound commitment that the plural does not. The .reise page sets out that difference in full.
-
On 13 August 2026 the zone held 5,117 registrations with 4,156 in the zone file. At eighty-one per cent, that describes a genuinely active zone where most registered names point at a site. The rule that follows is useful: if a short name you like is taken, it is probably in real use, so waiting for it to lapse wastes time. Patterns adding a route or a region are easier to secure.
-
The address reads as German, so used as the main domain of a multilingual site it speaks directly to German-speaking visitors. Rather than buying a separate extension per language, keeping language folders under one address concentrates accumulated link value in a single place. If you want a different stem to compare, look at the .holiday page and the .flights page.
-
Expiry does not delete the name immediately. A grace period in which renewal is still possible comes first, followed by a redemption window where recovery costs an additional fee. Travel businesses often relax their record-keeping out of season, which is exactly when these dates slip past and booking links break. Check your expiry date with whois search before the quiet months.
