'''.hosting''' is a new [[gTLD]] that was proposed in [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]]. [[Uniregistry]] is the successful applicant and now [[Registry]] for the TLD.


==Successful Applicant==
# [[Uniregistry]], the company owned by [[domainer]] [[Frank Schilling]] has applied for 54 new TLDs.<ref>[http://www.thedomains.com/2012/06/13/here-are-the-54-new-gtlds-that-frank-schillings-uniregistry-applied-for/ Here are the 54, TheDomains.com]</ref>

==Previous Applicants==
# [[Radix]] (Dottransfer Inc.), a subsidiary of the [[Directi]] group that was created to apply for 31 new TLDs
# [[Donuts]] (Trixy Birch, LLC), has applied for 307 TLDs. This applicant submitted a [[PIC|Public Interest Commitment]], which can be downloaded [https://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/applicationdetails/715 here].

Radix withdrew after a private auction that was administered by [[Applicant Auction]] in April 2014, which Uniregistry won.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/16566-millions-spent-on-new-gtlds-as-11-contention-sets-settled Millions spent on New gTLDs as 11 contention sets settled, DomainIncite] Retrieved 01 May 2014</ref>

===Radix===
Radix received a [[GAC]] Early Warning as an entire applicant, where each one of the applicants was flagged by the U.S. Government. This seems to be the only time a portfolio applicant had all of their applications warned. The issue does not deal with the technical capabilities or thematic content of their applications, but rather the inclusion of an email address associated with the US' Federal Bureau of Investigation. It seems that Radix included correspondence with this address as a recommendation with each of their applications.<ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/22938690/RadixReg-US-31.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1353452704000 RadixReg.

==Contract Signed==
On 29th May 2014, [[Uniregistry]] received a [[Registry Agreement]] signed by [[ICANN]] for .hosting after passing the [[Initial Evaluation]].<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/registries Registry Agreements, ICANN.org] Retrieved 05 December 2014</ref>

==Delegation and Availability==
.hosting was delegated to the [[Root Zone]] of the [[DNS]] on the 16th August, 2014, completing the successful application for the string.<ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-strings ICANN delegated strings] Retrieved 5th December 2014.</ref>


===Sunrise===

The [[Registry]] announced that the [[Sunrise Period]] for the string would begin on the 3rd September 2014 and end on the 3rd November 2014.<ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/sunrise-claims-periods TLD Startup Information, ICANN.org] Retrieved 5th December 2014</ref>
