Re-appropriate your brand on the internet with a Brand TLD

A brand TLD (.brand) is an Internet extension corresponding to a brand such as .sncf or .leclerc. Since these extensions belong to the brands in question, they can use them to differentiate all of their digital services (website, email addresses, etc.) and define the rules of use according to their needs and their projects. Brand TLDs offer multiple levers to rethink a digital strategy and promote a brand image through an innovative online presence that brands can control.

Afnic, which has helped many of its customers implement ambitious projects around brand TLDs, has been able to identify the many opportunities provided by these custom domain extensions and understand the issues facing organizations starting such a business venture.
