Club

Generic New gTLD (2012 Round)

Overview

Membership and affiliation are the ideas .club trades on. GoDaddy Registry operates the extension, which launched in 2014 and now holds roughly 800,000 domains. Social clubs, fan communities, subscription services, and interest groups form the natural constituency, since the word implies both a shared activity and a boundary around who takes part. Registration is open to all, and no evidence of an actual club is required.
