.smart frequently asked questions
01Can I register a .smart domain?
No. .smart is a closed brand extension operated by Smart Communications, Inc. (SMART) for their own use. It is not sold by any registrar.
02Why does .smart exist if nobody can buy one?
ICANN's 2012 expansion let organisations apply for a top-level domain matching their own brand. Those registries run under Specification 13 of the registry agreement, which permits a single registrant — the brand itself.
