What is a .xxx domain?
The .xxx domain is a sponsored top-level domain (sTLD) operated by the ICM Registry. It was created to serve the adult entertainment sector, providing a defined namespace that is easy to recognise and manage. By choosing a .xxx domain name, you gain access to a clear industry-specific platform that sets your website apart.
Why choose a .xxx domain?
A .xxx domain name offers several benefits for eligible businesses and organisations:
- Industry recognition: Explicitly designed for the adult industry, ensuring your site is immediately identifiable.
- Brand protection: Helps secure your name online and prevent misuse by unauthorised parties.
- Search visibility: A distinctive domain extension that makes it easier for customers to find and remember your website.
- Trust and security: Operated by an established registry (ICM Registry) with strong accountability standards.
Who can register a .xxx domain?
The .xxx domain extension is sponsored (sTLD) and managed by ICM Registry. It is intended for use by people and businesses operating within the online adult entertainment industry or associated fields.
After you submit your order for a .xxx domain name, the ICM registry will contact you and ask you to enrol in their adult Sponsored Community. You must complete that registration to receive your membership ID/token. Once you have the member number, log in to VIPControl and apply the ID to your domain, and then your .xxx domain will become fully functional.
You may also register your .xxx domain for defensive purposes (to protect your brand) without completing the adult Sponsored Community registration. However, in that case, your domain will remain inactive, meaning that it will not resolve until the membership is confirmed.
