.aol Domain Information

Country flagLogo for .aol Domain

Few strings in ICANN's 2012 New gTLD Program carried as much accumulated internet history as .aol. Applied for as a closed extension covering web portal services, email, and digital media, its value case rested heavily on a legacy user base: an email brand with decades of accounts behind it is a standing target for credential phishing, and every mailbox recovery or account verification page is a plausible thing to fake.

A closed namespace shuts that route down — .aol domains cannot be registered by anyone outside the operator, so any address on the extension is genuine by construction. Usage covers portal and content properties, email services, and brand destinations. There is no registration channel, no pricing, and no aftermarket for .aol domains.
