Why choose .tech?

Instant semantic signal that your brand, product, or project is technology-focused.

Better availability for short, memorable names compared to saturated legacy extensions.

Strong fit for startups and modern product naming (especially SaaS, developer tools, and AI-adjacent apps).

Works well for brand architecture (e.g., product.tech, careers.tech, lab.tech).

Compatible with standard DNS features like DNSSEC depending on registrar support.

History

.tech entered the DNS root on March 12, 2015 and was delegated shortly after, emerging from the ICANN new gTLD expansion as a purpose-built namespace for the technology sector. The registry stewardship later transitioned through multiple entities, with Radix Technologies Inc. becoming the sponsoring organization in 2024. Over time, .tech developed a reputation around real end-user adoption in tech branding rather than pure speculative volume.

Usage and applications

.tech is widely used by startups, developer tools, SaaS products, hardware brands, tech events, and innovation teams that want a clear “technology” brand cue in the URL. It’s also popular for product landing pages, community portals, and recruiting sites for engineering orgs.
