About .nagoya domains

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

.nagoya is the top-level domain for Nagoya City in the Internet's Domain Name System (DNS). The domain is operated by GMO Registry. On 20 February 2014, ICANN and GMO signed the registry agreement, under which GMO Domain Registry operates the .nagoya domain. Like other top-level domains, .nagoya is not geographically restricted to those in Nagoya and domains with the TLD can be used by anyone worldwide.
