About .oss

The .oss domain extension points to open source software, the kind whose code anyone can view, use, change and share. It naturally suits developers, maintainers, projects and foundations that build and support software in the open.

If you run an open source project, this name gives you a clear home for it. You can use it for the project homepage, documentation, package downloads, community forums, security advisories and guides for new contributors. Visitors can spot the project's official pages more easily.

Businesses and groups that rely on open source can use it too, including companies, educators, event organizers and software foundations. It works for training material, event sites and organization pages, and it keeps community-built software separate from proprietary products. This top-level domain stays tied to one topic, open source work.

Frequently asked questions about .oss

Why should I pre-register new top-level domain .oss now?
Pre-registering a .oss domain will allow us to submit your domain for registration as soon as it becomes possible to do so. This is the best way to secure your chance of owning a new gTLD domain. By pre-registering you will not have to worry about missing any deadlines and because pre-registration is free, you have nothing to lose. Also submitting a free pre-registration allows 101domain.com to update you on pricing, policies and deadlines. Unfortunately, 101domain.com cannot guarantee that we can successfully register a .oss pre-registered domain.
Does it cost anything to pre-register .oss?
The .oss pre-registration process is completely free. You will only be required to provide a valid email address and your other contact details. Only when the gTLD is open for registration and you wish to register the domain name will you be required to provide a credit card and payment.

We may send you an email regarding your .oss free pre-registration to confirm you request. If this email is not deliverable, your account will be closed and your free pre-registration will be deleted.

Am I obligated to register a .oss domain I pre-registered?
No. .oss Pre-registrations are non-binding and free. Once we receive information regarding the domain policy and we know the price, you will be asked to confirm your pre-registration, which would allow you to change your non-binding pre-registration into a binding General Availability Pre-Order.
