The .report Domain: A Permanent Home for a Recurring Title
The .report domain entered the root zone on 30 January 2014 under an ICANN agreement dated 5 December 2013, with Binky Moon, LLC of the Identity Digital group as contracting party. On 13 August 2026 the zone held 15,199 registrations and 11,611 of them appeared in the zone file, a publication rate of seventy-six per cent.
Companies publishing annual accounts, research houses issuing sector studies, organisations maintaining transparency reports, data journalism projects and regular market bulletins all use the extension. No eligibility test applies at registration. Try your candidates in .report domain search, or see the .consulting page if advisory work comes first.
The commonest mistake publishers make is baking a date into the stem. Next edition the name reads as stale, old links scatter across two addresses, and whatever authority the first one accumulated does not follow the second. What endures is the institution, the subject or the name of the series; only the year changes. So build the address around the series and keep the date one level down. Every new edition then accumulates in the same place and the archive stays whole.

.report Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: your .report 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 .report 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 .report 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 $4.39 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 .report 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 .report Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
It suits work that returns on a schedule: annual accounts, sector studies, transparency reports, market bulletins and data journalism projects. Because the extension states the format outright, the title itself needs no further explanation. For a single one-off document the string overpromises. Try your candidates on the .report search page and keep the series name in mind.
-
No. Keep the year on a sub-page rather than in the address. A date in the stem forces a new address for every edition, old links scatter, and the standing the first address built does not transfer to the next. Holding the series name in the stem and collecting editions beneath it keeps the archive in one place. The same logic applies to monthly and quarterly bulletins.
-
No. The agreement commits the registry to keeping second-level names open to lawful registrants and forbids any identity-based limit. It also forbids excluding legitimate users outside the most common sense of the word, which matters here because report also means a notification or a filing in English. No publishing registration or institutional credential is requested at any stage.
-
The 13 August 2026 measurement showed 15,199 registrations with 11,611 in the zone file, a rate of seventy-six per cent. That describes publishers who actually use the address they bought. The practical consequence is that short generic subject words are largely gone, while patterns combining your institution's name with the subject remain available and read as more credible anyway.
-
The name is not deleted at once. A grace period during which renewal still works comes first, followed by a redemption window where recovery costs an extra fee. Reports get cited for years, which makes a missed date expensive: if the address lapses, academic citations and press links break together. Check your expiry with whois search and leave automatic renewal switched on.
