About .hiphop domains

.HIPHOP is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) delegated in the DNS root zone. The registry operator responsible for .HIPHOP is listed by IANA as Dot Hip Hop, LLC. Anyone can typically register a .HIPHOP name through an accredited registrar, subject to the registry’s registration policy and ICANN consensus policies.

Uniregistry is a large retail domain name registrar and web services provider; as well as a domain name registry that administers generic top-level domains. In February 2013, the related company Uniregistrar Corporation became an ICANN-accredited registrar and launched under the licensed Uniregistry brand name in 2014. Uniregistry's acquisition by GoDaddy was announced in February 2020.
