The .new domain extension is a gTLD operated by Google Registry with a brand-new approach to domain name usage. All .new domains must resolve to action generation or online creation flows. Once resolved, the user should be able to "create" something without any further navigation e.g., doc.new, slides.new, and design.new. You can find more examples at whats.new, the Google Registry website for this top-level domain (TLD).
All domains have to comply with the .new registration policy, which features a usage-based restriction to ensure that all domains are being used for new actions.
This means all .new domain registrations must adhere to the following requirements:
Be used specifically for action generation or online content creation.
Direct users immediately into the action generation or content creation flow.
Resolve the intended action within 100 days of registration.
Permit Google Registry to verify compliance at no cost.
Although registration is open to everyone, Google Registry may suspend or remove any domain found to be non-compliant with this usage policy without a refund.
You can review the Registry’s FAQs to find more information on .new domains and to ensure that your domain meets the Registry policy requirements.
An exception is provided for services that require a user to be logged in: navigation to a .new domain may bring a logged-out user to a sign-up or sign-in page. After completing the sign-in and any other required authentication, the user must be brought directly into the action generation or online creation flow. A user who is already signed in must be brought immediately into the action flow.
In addition, according to Google Registry requirements, all .new websites must have an SSL certificate installed and HTTPS set up for them to load in browsers.
Please note that if a .new domain expires and you wish to reactivate it, the new expiration date will be the reactivation date, plus 1 year.
