History of the TLD

.delivery is a generic top level domain (gTLD) created as part of ICANN’s new gTLD expansion to provide descriptive domain extensions. It became active in the mid‑2010s and was designed for businesses in delivery and logistics. The registry operator is Binky Moon, LLC, under Identity Digital.

Main Use and Industry Position

.delivery is primarily used by companies in delivery, logistics, courier services, e‑commerce fulfillment, food delivery, and parcel distribution. It communicates the purpose of a website clearly and enhances brand relevance in the delivery sector.

Comparison to Other TLDs

Compared to general extensions like .com or .net, .delivery provides industry-specific clarity. It differs from location-based TLDs because it targets an industry rather than a region. Registration is generally open to the public, unlike some specialised TLDs that have strict eligibility rules.

Pros and Cons of the TLD

• Open public registration without narrow restrictions

• Supports standard DNS features including DNSSEC

Registration Criteria

.registration of .delivery domains is generally open to any individual or entity on a first‑come, first‑served basis. Standard domain rules apply including allowed characters and length. Registrants must provide accurate contact information and comply with registry policies.

Summary

.delivery is a descriptive gTLD for the delivery and logistics sector. It offers branding benefits and is widely available for registration. Managed by Binky Moon, LLC under Identity Digital, it follows standard gTLD infrastructure and features.
