A City’s Digital Identity in Action

Launched to the public on October 8, 2014, .nyc became the first major U.S. city domain, created as a digital badge of pride for residents and businesses.  

Working in partnership with The City of New York, GoDaddy Registry designed and executed a structured, multi-phase rollout that balanced trademark protection, premium allocation, and broad community access, while maintaining full compliance with ICANN requirements.

We are incredibly grateful to GoDaddy Registry for its partnership with us in promoting .nyc; they have been incredibly generous, creative and thoughtful in partnering with us. It is a spectacular partnership both in terms of its success and in terms of the warmth of the relationship. We are very grateful to GoDaddy Registry for all it has done for .nyc and the city of New York.
