.hbo Domain Information

Country flagLogo for .hbo Domain

Premium television and original programming sit behind .hbo, a three-letter restricted extension from ICANN's 2012 New gTLD Program. Subscription content producers face an anti-piracy problem that advertising-funded broadcasters do not: unauthorised streaming directly substitutes for a paid subscription, and pirate services routinely present themselves through domains imitating official addresses.

Use covers programming and series content, subscription services, and regional destinations. Registration is closed to the public and the extension has no aftermarket. Three-character strings were the round's scarcest asset, and in broadcasting they carry practical value in on-screen and advertising contexts where an address must read clearly at a distance.
