.msft Domain

The .msft domain extension is a closed namespace for Microsoft Corporation, whose stock market ticker symbol is MSFT. Registration is limited to organizations within the corporate group and possibly licensees of its trademarks. A closed extension like this helps keep customers and partners from landing on lookalike addresses.

Domains under this extension are used for any part of Microsoft that needs a web or email address, and each one must serve a corporate objective. Every request goes through an internal approval process, follows set registration policies, and is placed through a trusted corporate registrar. The registrar only takes requests from authorized people inside Microsoft. For Microsoft, a closed extension means every address ending in .msft can be traced back to Microsoft itself.
