.star Domain

Television broadcasting and entertainment across South Asia sit behind .star, a short restricted extension from ICANN's 2012 New gTLD Program. The string is an ordinary English noun with universal recognition — astronomy, celebrity, ratings, and symbols — making it one of the most heavily contested dictionary words granted in the round.

Use covers channel and programming content, streaming destinations, sports and regional sites, and campaign resources. Registration is closed to the public and the extension carries no aftermarket. Broadcasters serving very large multilingual audiences have a genuine namespace case, though a four-letter common noun is a substantial thing to remove from general availability.
