WHAT IS A .REVIEWS DOMAIN

The .reviews Domain: Where Collected Opinion Lives

The .reviews domain entered the root zone on 6 February 2014 under an ICANN agreement dated 13 September 2013, with Dog Beach, LLC of the Identity Digital group as contracting party. On 13 August 2026 the zone held 16,310 registrations, of which 11,002 appeared in the zone file.

The plural describes a body of opinion rather than a single assessment, which is why comparison sites, brands gathering customer feedback, app and game review communities and sector rating projects make up the registrant base. Try your candidates in .reviews domain search, or see the .feedback page if you are collecting responses rather than publishing verdicts.

The abuse clause in this agreement bears directly on what you publish

The contract lets the registry deny, suspend, cancel or transfer a registration on six stated grounds. Two of them apply squarely to sites that publish opinion: failing to keep registration data accurate and up to date, and using the name in a way that violates third-party rights or acceptable use policies. A review address built on somebody else's brand name sits right inside that scope. Collecting the same material under your own name is both safer and more credible.

.reviews 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 .reviews 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 .reviews, 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 .reviews 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 .reviews 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 $11.98 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 .reviews 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 .reviews Domains

The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.

  • It suits sites gathering a body of opinion at one address: comparison platforms, brands publishing customer feedback, app and game review communities and sector rating projects. If you publish a single assessment instead, the singular reads more accurately. Try your candidates on the .reviews search page and see the distinction on the .review page.

  • Registration is technically possible, but the agreement lets the registry suspend, cancel or even transfer a name whose use violates third-party rights or acceptable use policies. Trademark owners can additionally block their marks across every extension the registry operates. Gathering reviews under your own brand removes that exposure entirely and reads as more transparent to the person deciding whether to trust the page.

  • No. The agreement keeps second-level names open to lawful registrants and forbids identity-based limits, including any exclusion of legitimate users tied to a less common sense of the word. No publishing registration or accreditation is asked for. The registry does, however, reserve the right to audit registration data and cancel a name registered on inaccurate details.

  • On 13 August 2026 the zone held 16,310 registrations with 11,002 in the zone file, a rate of sixty-seven per cent. One name in every three has therefore never gone live. That usually marks defensive registration: brands take their own name so that nobody builds a review site on it. For you the consequence is that generic category words are gone while patterns using your own brand remain open.

  • Remove the lock, request the authorisation code and start the request at the gaining registrar. On review sites the recurring problem is that the name stays in a founder's personal account and access disappears when the team changes. Before you start, make sure the address on file points at a company mailbox. Run the process from the domain transfer page and check the record with whois search.
