.nyc Domain Registrations

The .nyc domain extension is the official geographic top-level domain for New York City, launched in 2014 in partnership with the City of New York. It is one of the most prestigious and instantly recognisable geographic domains in the world — New York City's global profile means a .nyc domain carries immediate credibility and local identity with audiences worldwide. Whether you are a Manhattan restaurant, a Brooklyn creative agency, a Queens-based nonprofit, or a New York startup, a .nyc domain places your brand firmly at the heart of the world's most famous city. The extension is available to any individual, business, or organisation with a genuine nexus to New York City — including residents, companies registered in NYC, and organisations with a primary mailing address in one of the five boroughs. A .nyc domain is not just a web address; it is a statement of local pride and community belonging.
