About .CHAT Domain Names

"Chatting" has evolved into a primary force of online communication thanks to the proliferation of "chat rooms" and other distinct means of connecting on the internet. The .chat domain name provides a niche platform for all users to discuss various issues related to online communication.

The .chat domain extension is managed by the Donuts registry. To learn about the regulations and pre-registration information that apply to .chat, see About Donuts Domain Names.
