.smile Domain

The .smile extension is one of the round's closed generics: an ordinary English noun and verb delegated on a restricted basis through ICANN's 2012 New gTLD Program rather than opened for registration. The word has obvious constituencies in dentistry, photography, charity, and wellbeing — any business whose outcome is a happier customer.

There is no registration channel, pricing, or aftermarket for .smile domains; use relates to the operator's own charitable and service programs. Emotionally positive short words were among the most sought-after non-brand strings in the program, carrying immediate warmth that no coined name achieves.
