.hosting is a proposed new gTLD in ICANN's New gTLD Program. Uniregistry is the sole remaining applicant and will move on to become the Registry for the TLD.
Current Applicant[edit | edit source]
- Uniregistry, Corp., the company owned by domainer Frank Schilling has applied for 54 new TLDs.[1]
Previous Applicants[edit | edit source]
- 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 Public Interest Commitment, which can be downloaded here.
Radix withdrew after a private auction that was administered by Applicant Auction in April 2014, which Uniregistry won.[2]
Radix[edit | edit source]
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.[3]
