# ownit.nyc — Official .nyc Domain Registry

> ownit.nyc is the official discovery and information portal for the .nyc top-level domain (TLD), operated by GoDaddy Registry. The site helps individuals, businesses, nonprofits, and organizations determine their eligibility for a .nyc domain, search for available names, and connect with accredited registrars to complete registration.

## What this site is

- Official registry portal for the .nyc top-level domain
- dotNYC is a city-backed initiative supported by the Mayor's Office of Technology and Innovation. Revenue generated through .nyc domain registrations supports New York City initiatives. GoDaddy Registry operates and markets the .nyc domain on behalf of the city.
- ownit.nyc does not sell domains directly and is not an accredited registrar
- .nyc domains require a verified NYC nexus (only individuals and entities with a genuine New York City connection are eligible)
- The nexus requirement is enforced at registration and makes .nyc a verifiable signal of local identity, not just a stylistic choice

## Core tools

- [Home page] https://ownit.nyc: Main landing page for discovering available .nyc domain extensions and understanding their value.  
- [WHOIS lookup] https://whois.nyc: Basic WHOIS Search to see who owns a domain
- [Registrar directory] https://www.ownit.nyc/registrars-resellers: information for existing and potential registrars and resellers of .nyc.
- [Contact Page] https://www.ownit.nyc/contact-us: Contact information for people with questions, comments, ideas, and abuse claims. 
 

## Site content

## Target audience

- NYC-based small business owners (1–50 employees) in retail, food, services, and creative industries
- NYC freelancers, students, artists, and nonprofit operators
- Large organizations or corporations who are headquartered in or do business regularly in NYC
- Anyone with a verified New York City nexus seeking a locally credible web address

## Industries Served

- Small business
- Restaurants and hospitality
- Retail
- Professional services
- Arts and culture
- Nonprofits
- Education
- Real estate
- Technology startups
- Community organizations

## Brand and positioning

- .nyc provides a verified local identity because registrants must maintain a genuine connection to New York City
- The nexus requirement distinguishes .nyc from open-registration domains and helps preserve trust in the namespace
- Primary competitors are generic TLDs (.com, .net, .org), which are open to global registration and carry no local credibility signal
- Other city TLDs exist but lack the global brand weight of New York City
