.team Domain: One Address for People Who Work Together
The .team zone entered the root on 9 April 2015; its ICANN agreement is dated 5 March 2015 and the contracting party is Binky Moon, LLC. The word reaches well past sports clubs: internal company squads, esports rosters, project groups and volunteer crews all use it too.
This is the third largest zone in its group, and that breadth is an advantage when naming: pairing a team name with a discipline instead of chasing a bare short root produces an address that is both easier to find and less likely to clash. No eligibility condition applies and no document is requested. Compare candidates on the .team domain search page.

.team Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: your .team 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 .team 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 .team 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 .team 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 .team Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
You can. The agreement treats the string as a dictionary term and forbids the operator from imposing identity-based eligibility criteria; club registration, association records and federation membership are never requested. Neighbourhood sides, internal company squads and volunteer groups all sit together in the zone. Accurate contact details are the only expectation.
-
It can, but the test is who will see it. If the address serves employees only, a subdomain is cheaper and simpler to administer. Where the team works outward, recruits, or promotes a product of its own, a separate address positions it as an identity distinct from the parent brand. That is the decision rule: external visibility is what makes the separate address pay.
-
Measured on 13 August 2026 the zone holds 91,178 registrations, of which 67,821 appear in the zone file, roughly seventy-four percent. A large zone tells you single-word roots are gone, while the missing quarter tells you a share of names is never used at all. Try team name paired with city or discipline through bulk domain name search.
-
Not for registering the domain; trademark evidence was needed only for launch-period priority rights, and that period has closed. Choosing a name that matches somebody else's mark exactly can still expose you to dispute procedures, however. Before you commit, look at who holds the name and what sits near it using whois search.
-
It is not; the standard gTLD path applies: lift the lock, obtain the authorisation code, open the request at the gaining provider. In teams the real risk is personal rather than technical, because the domain often sits in the account of a founder who has since left. Make sure the registrant record has moved to the team's shared account first, then run it from the domain transfer page.
