What Is the History of .airforce?
The .airforce TLD was proposed in ICANN's New gTLD Program by United TLD Holdco Ltd. (later acquired by Rightside/Demand Media). It received early warnings from the governments of the United States, Australia, and India due to concerns over confusion with official military entities. Despite the objections, ICANN approved the application and delegated the TLD on April 30, 2014. The registry operator was transferred to Dog Beach, LLC in June 2021, with Identity Digital Inc. providing technical and administrative services.
