.top
The .top domain is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) launched in the 2014 new-gTLD round. Its registry operator is Jiangsu Bangning Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (.TOP Registry).
Overview
.top was positioned as a short, memorable, unrestricted extension meaning "best" or "highest." Aggressive promotional pricing helped it grow into one of the largest new gTLDs by raw registration volume, though renewal rates are typically lower than legacy gTLDs.
Usage
It is used for marketing sites, short links, experiments, and brandable names when .com alternatives are unavailable. As with many low-cost new gTLDs, quality varies widely across the zone.
Where to Buy & Pricing
Introductory prices are often very low; check the renewal price before registering, as renewals are commonly much higher than the first year.
